What does Movember do?

Movember is a global charity foundation focused on improving men's health. Founded in 2003 in Melbourne, Australia, it began as a lighthearted challenge among friends to grow moustaches in November. The initiative has since evolved into a significant campaign that raises awareness and funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health issues, including suicide prevention. The foundation has raised over $837 million and funded more than 1,200 men's health projects worldwide. Movember encourages participation through various activities. Participants can grow a moustache, engage in physical challenges called "Move," or host events known as "Mo-ments" to spark conversations and raise funds. The foundation collaborates with health organizations, including the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and the LIVESTRONG Foundation, to drive impactful research and support programs. Its mission is to create lasting change in men's health and well-being.
