Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health.

In the U.S., Movember is being utilized to get people talking about prostate cancer, a very serious health issue for men.

Participants in Movember (known as Mo Bros) start the month clean shaven, and along the journey of growing and grooming get people to talk about health issues normally avoided, at the same time raising money for the cause.

Since Movember’s inception in 2003, almost 200,000 Mo Bros have sported a Mo and more than $29 million has been raised globally for prostate cancer research, including $740,568 raised in the United States last year.

Movember is the biggest international event supporting prostate cancer.
