MOVEMBER
Awareness month for male diseases at BBDouro
Since 2013, BBDouro has supported this cause by growing a moustache and donating roughly $1,300 to the Movember Foundation in an effort to combat diseases that yearly impact thousands of men.
With each passing year, more BBDouro employees grow a mustache, becoming part of this global movement. Last year, 740 dollars were donated by several people from the BBDouro team.
This year, the BBDouro MoBros team aims to raise 1000 dollars for the Movember Foundation, through various initiatives during the month of November and the contribution of the entire BBDouro community.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
WHAT IS IT?
The Movember Foundation was born in 2003 and aims to raise awareness and support male people who suffer from diseases exclusive to men. This project started in Australia, through two friends Travis Garone and Luke Slattery.
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THIS ACTION?
This cause has a great visual and social impact due to its now outdated icon – the mustache. Over the years, more and more men and women were impacted by the mustache, and just 2 years after the creation of Movember, almost 8000 men were already participating in the movement.
In 2007, the Movember Foundation became a globally recognized social body, having raised close to 20 million euros to combat diseases that affect a large percentage of men, such as prostate cancer.
Every year, more than half a million people participate in this movement and more than 1,250 projects related to men’s health have already been financed.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Join the team! Grow that mustache and show it to the world.
This year, the BBDouro MoBros team aims to raise $1,000 for this cause.
You can help us meet our goal through one of our Movember initiatives or by making a donation from as little as $3 directly to our team page on the Movember Foundation website.
