The rules for Movember are straightforward, start November
with no hair and let a mustache grow until the end of the month. Started by a
group of thirty men in Australia in the year 2003, Movember has now become an
organization that seeks to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer. Since
this type of cancer has not had much attention, the CEO and co-founder, Adam
Garone, believes that, what started off as a social experiment, should
represent something greater. Last year, $126,300,000 was raised by 855,203
mustache-growing participants. This year, over 1,000,000 participants are
expected. All of the money goes to Movember, the Livestrong Foundation, and the
Prostate Cancer Foundation.

Wow, I had no idea that Movember was established to benefit prostate cancer!
