Eighteen fine folks at RF-SMART stood proud and said no to shaving, participating in a “growing” national movement called Movember (the month formerly known as November).
So what’s Movember?
It’s a mustache-growing charity event held during November each year to raise funds and awareness for men’s health. Exceeding our goal, RF-SMART raised $1580 toward the Movember Foundation with a silent auction and a fundraising event at Aardwolf, a local brewery. In fact, we raised $300 that night by selling mustache pint glasses to bar patrons and facial hair supporters, learning that people do in fact love the mustache.
One other thing we learned: There are many different personalities and emotions that can surface when growing a mustache:
You might be the happy mustache group.
Or the mysterious one.
Your mustache might make people smile …
Or it might make them go a bit crazy.
Whatever the outcome, just remember it’s for a good cause!
A big thank you to all of our sponsors who contributed to our silent auction: Total Wine & More, Adventure Landing, TacoLu, Intuition Ale Works, Hightide Burrito, Bold City Brewery, Moon River Pizza, Kilwin’s Chocolates. Peterbrooke Chocolatier, Maple Street Biscuit Company, FireHouse Subs, Satchel’s Pizza and the Florida Museum of Natural History.
