The RGBSI team is hosting a Movember fundraiser to spread awareness around men’s health and suicide prevention.
In support of this cause, RGBSI will donate $50 on behalf of each of its employees that goes without shaving the entire month of November. All proceeds will go to the Movember organization to help fund health projects across mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
Movember funds programs that continue to change and save the lives of men. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women. Globally, on average, 1 man dies by suicide every minute of every day. In the US, 3 out of 4 suicides are men. By 2030, the Movember aims to reduce the rate of male suicides by 25% by investing in:
- Education
- Conversations that matter
- Services that work for men
- Bright minds, brought together
- Community first
- Advocation for all men
To show our support for this movement, RGBSI participants will grow out their facial hair for the entire month of November. For each individual that goes all month without shaving their “moustache”, RGBSI will make a monetary donation on behalf of that individual to the Movember organization. Donations will help fund health programs for men, campaign exposure of these serious men’s health-related issues, and men's health research.
