What is Movember?
Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for prostate cancer.
At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants, known as Mo Bros, have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their Mo, raising money along the way to benefit Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC), the only national foundation dedicated to the elimination of this disease through research, education, support and awareness.

I already have a Mo - how can I participate?
If you already have a Mo you can do a ‘reverse Movember’ and have people donate to you to shave it off. Alternatively, you could shave off your moustache at the start of Movember and then re-grow your Mo throughout the month…. Maybe it’s time to try a new Mo style?

Are goatees or beards allowed?
The definition of a Moustache:
1. There is to be no joining of the Mo to side burns – That’s a beard.
2. There is to be no joining of the handlebars – That’s a goatee.
3. A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip is allowed (aka a tickler).
Remember, it’s Movember, not ‘Beardvember’ or ‘Goateevember’

How much does it cost to run Movember?
In 2008 Movember raised a staggering $2.4 million in support of PCC, with over 9,400 participants. The costs for marketing, promotional materials, event venue rentals etc amounted to approximately 25% of the campaign gross.
We worked hard to secure as much media attention (i.e. free promotion) as we can get in lieu of a paid advertising budget. PCC staff efforts (which are significant) do not factor into campaign costs. We work on Movember in addition to our standard roster of fundraising events and programs that we do each year.
We very much believe in Movember and its potential, and we’re putting in the extra effort to make it a success.
