No Shave Movember

// December 4th, 2009 // Uncategorized

Movember was started by some wacky Aussies a few years ago after some guys in a pub got to talking about men’s health and moustaches over a few pints. The movement has spread and tonight in Denver Matt Bernier (@mbernier) spearheaded a movement to get the Metal Mustache team to have a great party where it all started… at a pub.  The team had raised about $700 before the night started and kept it going through the night with raffles, a silent auction, generous sponsorship from Mike’s Hard Lemonade (who sampled their Hard Cider tonight), and a generous sponsorship from The Rackhouse Pub.  The guys on the team were invited to have a barber manscape their scruff and after a contest for best style ensued… for men and women.  Kudos to Matt, he put together a great team for the month of Movember and closed our their efforts with a fun celebration to raise money and awareness for men’s health.
