During the month of November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in Ireland and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds for Action Prostate Cancer and the Irish Cancer Society, as well as awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer. This year BK2 have decided to get involved and launch our own Movember campaign in an attempt to get even more people in Cork growing a ‘tash for this great cause! Anyone can register for Movember, but we are calling on businesses or groups in particular to take part and engage in a bit of friendly cultivating competition!
Once you have registered with us, each Mo Bro must begin his hairy journey on the 1st of Movember with a smooth, clean shaven face. If you join the campaign a few day late don’t worry, the Mo the merrier. For the entire month each Mo Bro must grow and groom a moustache and here’s where a few basic rules come in. There is to be no joining of the mo to the sideburns (that’s considered a beard), there’s to be no joining of the handlebars to the chin (that’s considered a goatee) and each Mo Bro must conduct himself like a true gentleman. Feel free to photograph your progress throughout the month, and BK2 will display these pictures at our Shavathon!
Ladies, or Mo Sista’s, can also play their part. A Mo Sista is essentially a woman who loves a Mo. An individual that cares for and is dedicated to supporting the Mo Bros in her life through their moustache growing journey; whether it be a friend, colleague, family member or partner. These inspirational women are committed to raising awareness of men's health issues and much needed funds for men's health along the way.
Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.
At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas will celebrate their mighty Movember journey at BK2 for the ultimate Shavathon, a unified shaving of the Mo’s and an opportunity to collect further sponsorship. We will have prizes for the best ‘tash and there will also be a photographer there on the night to take some before and after pictures! It should be a fun month and it’s all for a great cause!
