Movember 2017 Means Time to Grow Mustaches for Men’s Health

November 7, 2017 by Kevin McKeever

Movember 2017 is here.

Is your upper lip feeling fuzzy? It should because it’s mustache growing time — it’s Movember 2017!

“Movember,” aka the month of November, is when City Dads Group joins three other fatherhood friendly organizations in putting down our razors in effort to sprout a living awareness ribbon under our noses to promote the cause of improving men’s health.

The Movember Foundation is a leading global organization committed to literally and figuratively changing the face of men’s health. It challenges men to grow mustaches (or, for the facial hair challenged — exercise daily) during the month to spark conversation and raise funds for research into prostate cancer, testicular cancer, men’s mental health issues and suicide prevention. Since starting in 2003, the organization has raised hundreds of millions of dollars to help fund more than 1,200 men’s health projects, according to its website.

For Movember 2017, City Dads Groups will join forces with the Life of Dad social network, Dad 2.0 Summit and The National At-Home Dad Network to create a team of fundraising fathers.

City Dads Group, starting with its founding NYC Dads Group outpost in 2011, has raised more than $100,000 in direct donations and sponsorship matches in the past five years with our fellow #MovemberDads mustaches partners. To help us, click the link below:
