Thank You For Supporting #MovemberDads

December 4, 2013 by City Dads Group

It’s December, which means the Movember moustaches have been shaved, much money has been contributed, and hopefully, we as men have thought more about our mental and physical health and have some ideas about how we can take better care of ourselves.



We’re very proud to announce that our team of #MovemberDads, led along with our friends from +Dad 2.0 Summit, +Life of Dad, and +The National At-Home Dad Network raised over $15,000 to benefit men’s health awareness, research, and treatment. Special thanks to Dove Men+Care for a very generous mid-month contribution to our team and to Microsoft for their donation of two Microsoft Surface 2 tablets awarded to the top money raiser and to the guy that donned the best mo’ (to be announced soon).

While raising money is very important, we also wanted to get our community thinking more about our health. Thanks to these dads that shared their funny, sad, heart wrenching, and inspirational stories:

Many thanks to our #MovemberDads and all of the dads and dad bloggers that contributed to the effort. This was a true exhibition of what we can do as a community of dads when we rally around an important cause.
