The Movember Foundation is an Australian based, not for profit, charitable organization that implements the Movember event each year across the globe. The Movember event creates awareness around men's health issues and raises funds for carefully selected beneficiary partners (that are also charitable organizations) in each country, with a focus on prostate cancer. Since its inception as a formal charity in 2004, Movember has raised over $29 million (CAD) globally and is continuously working to increase awareness of prostate cancer within the community and change the attitude men have about their health. Movember's beneficiary partner in Canada is the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada (PCRFC), who is the leading national organization devoted solely to eliminating the threat of prostate cancer. The PCRFC's mission is to fund research into the prevention, treatment and cure of prostate cancer by engaging Canadians through awareness, education and advocacy. All funds raised by Movember in Canada stay in Canada and go directly to the PCRFC. Movember's global beneficiary partners are:Australia
