Bauer Hockey, SAXX and Adidas have all launched programs supporting the Movember Foundation, which raises funds and awareness for men’s health issues. During the month of November, millions of people participate in the Movember campaign by growing moustaches to help raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and physical inactivity. Since 2003, the foundation has established itself as one of the largest non-governmental investors in men’s health and has raised $676 million and helped fund 1,000 breakthrough men’s health projects.
Here’s how you can join…
SAXX, the underwear brand, launched a limited edition Stache collection on October 29. The company is donating $2 from each Stache sale to the Movember Foundation to help continue the funding of critical men’s health research.
Along with the Stache collection, SAXX is launching a campaign to foster awareness about men’s health issues. With the support of three Mo Bros – cancer survivors Ron Telpner and Gianmarco Colannino along with mental health advocate Shea Emry of the Saskatchewan Roughriders – SAXX is telling their inspiring personal stories to encourage men and women to sign up and donate at Movember.com.
“We’re proud to be an official Mo partner this year as we continue to raise funds to support the important work Movember does in helping men live happier, healthier, longer lives,” said SAXX Underwear CEO Tim Bartels.
Based on its brand campaign “Own the Moment,” Bauer Hockey has created “Own the Mo” t-shirts that will be sold online and in-store at Total Hockey in the U.S. and at Pro Hockey Life in Canada. Bauer Hockey and the two retail partners will donate a combined $10 to the Movember Foundation for every “Own the Mo” t-shirt sold. “Own the Mo” t-shirts will also be available at Bauer Hockey’s store in Burlington, MA.
“Movember is a fun way to show your support for men’s health, and it has become a tradition…”
“Movember is a fun way to show your support for men’s health, and it has become a tradition in the hockey community,” said Rich Wuerthele, EVP, Bauer Hockey. “We’re proud to partner with the Movember Foundation and our retailers to raise money that helps fund important research focusing on prostate cancer, mental health and much more.”
