Movember 30 is just around the corner—time to make the final deposit and close out the books!

Thank you for making such a solid investment in men’s health throughout Movember. As we prepare for the final audit, take a moment to review your portfolio—you’ve raised the value of men’s health with every Mo, every event, and every dollar raised.

Mark your calendars: the leaderboards will officially close on Tuesday, December 10th, at 5 PM EST. That’s when we’ll announce the 2024 Finance Faceoff Champions. Donations can still come in after this deadline, but they won’t count toward the leaderboard standings.

Let’s finish strong and maximize the impact for men’s health!

Week 3 of the Finance Faceoff is well underway—you’re really investing in that Mo now! Whether it's appreciating in value like a well-diversified portfolio, or growing steadily like a long-term asset, you're seeing the returns on your effort.

Keep your growth compounding—a little grooming goes a long way in ensuring your Mo remains a solid, high-yield investment! Every hair is like a small deposit into the bigger picture of men’s health, and together, we’re making a wealth of difference.

Stay on track and reinvest your energy—you're building more than just a moustache; you're helping fund the future of men's health. Keep growing, moving, hosting, and Mo’ing your way to success!

Hey RBC MoBros and MoSistas,

We had such a great campaign this year! I’m proud of every aspect. We recruited – 362 member (up 82 from 2022). We moved 9,850km (up 2,644 from 2022). We had great company-wide virtual events; namely the Captains’ Meeting, Mo Day 1: Ready Set Me!, RBC Mental Health Panel and the Mo Gala. There were many local events put on by captains, including breakfasts, potlucks, caroling, rock climbing, panels, and presentations. There were many fake moustaches, really brave moustaches and epic moustaches. I love them all.

Fundraising continues until Dec 7th at 5pm, but we are looking good. We’ve raised $187,968 (up $11,887 from 2022). For the Bank Challenge, we are in second place behind CIBC’s $324,355 and comfortably ahead of BMO’s $176,905. I’ll have the final results on the Movember Connect page once the Challenge has concluded.

Thank-you for your commitment and support.

We've now arrived at Movember 30 and everyone in this challenge should pause for a moment to reflect on an amazing job done, what can only be described as an epic 'stache and an impressive commitment to help change the face of men's health.

As Mo season is coming to a close, I want to flag that the leaderboards will officially close on Thursday, December 7th at 5 pm EST, marking the moment we crown our 2023 Movember champions of each challenge. While donations can still be received after this time, please note that they won't contribute to the leaderboard race.

Thanks for all you have done this year and will continue to do as we move forward.

United We Mo!!!

Hello RBC MoBros and MoSistas!! We are 275 members strong and we have moved 4,218km. We are on the cusp of raising $100,000 in support of Movember. We are sitting third in the Banking Challenge behind CIBC and BMO. Let's end the month strong. Action items; First, if you haven't logged your moves get them in. Second, ask 3 more people today to support Men's Health through your Movember campaign.

Hey RBCers, we've grown our staches and the size of our crew. We are now in the itchy phase and have 186 people on the team. We have moved 1,254km. This puts us way out in the lead for membership and moves. For money raised, we've been blindsided by BMO jumping ahead of us. Satisfyingly, we have CIBC and TD behind us. Let's keep spreading the word about Men's Health. Make sure to get the Nov 15th Movember Panel in your calendar, details on the Movember Connect page.

Hello RBCers! There are 178 of us and so far we have moved 287km and raised $30,408. This means we are beating all the other banks on membership, moves and money. Keep up the good work - recruiting, walk/run, spreading the awareness.
