Movember
Facial hair fundraiser
Movember is a month-long event in November when men grow mustaches to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, particularly prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health.
The name blends "mo" (Australian slang for mustache) with November.
Participants are sometimes called Mo Bros: He's growing out his Movember stache for charity.
