How would you like to run in a costume themed, 5km night race? Look no further than the infamous Moustache Miler and you can.

Over the years, her tireless efforts extended beyond rallying community support and recruiting volunteers; she secured sponsorships and navigated the event through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Shannon's unwavering determination, exemplary leadership, and genuine warmth as a person have not only left an indelible mark on the event but have also significantly raised awareness and funds for men's health, solidifying the Moustache Miler as one of the most impactful Movember events in the country.

Working alongside Shannon and the Moustache Miler Volunteer Committee, Simon has been a key contributor to the Moustache Miler event for several years. However, in 2023, he officially took the reins as the race organizer, bringing his extensive event experience to the forefront. Under Simon's leadership, the 2023 race was a resounding success, and he has already set ambitious plans to expand the event into a 2-race series for Movember 2024. Simon's commitment to the Moustache Miler not only continued the event's legacy but also plays a vital role in raising awareness and funds for men's health. Thank you, Simon, for carrying the hairy torch for the Mo Miler.

Toronto’s self-billed sexiest Movember event. The 5th annual Movember Polar Dip saw more than 100 Movember supporters strip down to their speedos to take a chilly dip in Lake Ontario for 60 seconds. Those 60 seconds represent the 60 men who will lose their lives every hour to suicide globally. Started by Evan Smith, the 2023 dip was organized along with Jason Hubbell, Scott Cumming & Sara Reid. According to Evan, “The goal of this whole thing is to do something fun together, have a laugh, but to support each other as people, support each other as men.” You can watch Movember’s video about the event here.

Now in its 12th year, the Movember Whitewater Classic is a paddling race down a wild and chilly white-water section of the Ottawa River to raise money for Movember. The event was started by Mo Bro Matthew Hamilton and the 2023 race saw more than 80 participants on the water who collectively raised more than $14,000. As one of Movember’s longest-standing events, the Whitewater Classic has created a powerful legacy of breaking down the stigmas that all too often surround men’s health.

On top of captaining the world’s largest first responder fundraising team, Sam goes the extra mile to personally raise funds and awareness for her brothers in arms at the fire station. With the support of our friends at CIBC, Sam and her moustached themed manicure brought to life her vision of climbing over 100 flights of stairs in full firefighter bunker gear alongside her brothers from the Township of Tiny Fire Department.

Leading from the top – Nick's support elevated BMO’s campaign to make it a record-setting year. Using his platform to share ‘why I Mo’, helped not only BMO’s campaign but also minimize the stigma associated with many men’s heath challenges. Nick rocked his rookie year with raising just over $10,000. We salute you.

Whether it be growing epic ‘staches, moving for the month, or an impromptu push-up competition, Canso knows how to change the face of men’s health. In what has become an end of month tradition, Canso’s Holiday Lip-sync Challenge brings the community together to put a cap (or Santa’s hat) on the Movember campaign, while raising funds along the way. They embody havin’ fun,doin’ good.

CIBC’s Movember campaign is the definition of inclusive impact. CIBC’s ability to rally hundreds of employees to grow, move, or host has become the cornerstone of Movember in Canada. Raising over $275,000 in 2023 this team adds their efforts to the millions of funds raised over the years. Hosting Health Talks, panel discussions, auctions and other events engages the whole team in raising funds and awareness for men’s health.

SECURE Energy showed up for Movember in a big way by engaging their workplace in an engaging, educational and impactful campaign. Over the past 2 years SECURE has won the Oil Rig Rumble and raised over $600,000 for Movember. In addition to their successful fundraising efforts, they are also leaders in addressing the health challenges many in Canada’s Oil & Gas industry face by leading informative sessions and events focused on learning and connecting with colleagues.

In 2023, Maury captained BHP's Team Jansen team that raised over $100,000 while also raising a personal record of over $13,000 to bring his 14-year total to over $42K. While the funds raised are impressive, what stands out is how Maury makes sure to lead an inclusive and impactful campaign. He prides himself on engaging Mo Sisters, and promoting the opportunity for people on site to take care of their physical and mental well-being. Maury also leads with vulnerability by sharing his personal connection to the cause, and encouraging his colleagues to talk about their health and normalizing the conversations around the challenges men face with their physical and mental wellbeing.

Michael’s 15-year commitment to the Movember cause goes far beyond the dollars raised. Over 9 years ago, Michael’s younger brother Duncan died by suicide. Michael shares his motivation with us all to remind us to take the time to have more open conversations with our loved ones using the ALEC model. (Ask. Listen. Encourage Action. Check-In.)
