About Movember

The Movember Foundation

The Movember Foundation is the leading global organisation committed to changing the face of men’s health.

 

The Movember community has raised €409 million to date and funded over 800 programmes in 21 countries. This work is saving and improving the lives of men affected by prostate and testicular cancer.

 

The Movember Foundation challenges men to grow moustaches during Movember (formerly known as November), to spark conversation and raise vital funds for its men’s health programmes. To date, 4 million moustaches have been grown worldwide, but we won't stop growing as long as serious men’s health issues exist.

The Movember Campaign

Movember is our annual awareness and fundraising campaign, which takes place during the month of November.

How it works

1. MOUSTACHES

Movember challenges men to grow a moustache for the 30 days of November, thereby changing their appearance and the face of men’s health. In October Mo Bros sign up at Movember.com and on the 1st of Movember, with a clean-shaven face, start their Mo growing journey.

2. AWARENESS

Then for the entire month, these selfless and generous men known as Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for 30 days. Through their growing efforts they raise awareness for the often ignored issues of men’s health, by prompting conversations wherever they go.

3. FUNDRAISING

Another crucial part of being a Mo Bro is to raise funds for men’s health. Men donate their face and, much like taking part in a run or walk for charity, ask their family and friends to sponsor their efforts.

Movember’s not just for men. The women of Movember are known as Mo Sistas. They play a vital role in the success of Movember by supporting and encouraging the men in their life to get involved. Mo Sistas get involved by signing up at Movember.com and participate by raising funds and awareness themselves. Essentially, Mo Sistas do everything that Mo Bros do, without a Mo. More about Mo Sistas here.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their Movember journey at one of the official Gala Partés held around the world.
