Bewhiskered bros, let's see your Mo's!
It's the wonderfullest, woolliest
time of the year — a time when
moustaches peek out from under
noses to spread love and joy across
the land.
“Students should definitely support Movember because it's a great cause,” said the Fanshawe Student Union's VP Entertainment Allie Neeb, who is helping to organize the events. “All the money goes to prostate cancer research, which is a good awareness thing — not a lot of people were talking about it before the Movember campaign came up.”
Though a big part of the month is devoted to growing out Mo's — moustaches, for the uninitiated — it's not only a month for men. “It's really important for men and women to support it,” Neeb said. “There are more ways than ever that girls can get involved. You don't necessarily have to grow a moustache to be involved with it.”
You can help fund prostate cancer research by supporting the fundraising events running throughout the month:
On Movember 7, the Swag Sale in F hallway will sell all kinds of moustachioed goodies — T-shirts, jewellery and even umbrellas — from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will also be an iPad set up to help people sign up to join the Fanshawe Student Union's Movember team.
If you prefer to satisfy your sweet tooth while you support the cause, check out the Bake Sale in F hallway (near the Computer Store) on Movember 14. The staff from the Oasis restaurant will bake up some moustache cookies covered in colourful icing, and they'll be available for $1 each from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Get your chow on at the Movember Breakfast on Movember 21 at Oasis. From 7:30 to 10 a.m., enjoy a breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries and canned juice from Harwood's for just $5, with every penny of that money going to support Movember.
The Moustaches and Mini Skirts pub on Movember 28 is sure to be a fun night — don't forget to wear your 'stache and your swag! Tickets are $3 in advance at the Biz Booth, $4 at the door.
Movember ends with a wailin' guitar solo at Cock Rock New Music Night on Movember 29. “Cock rock is loud, over-the-top and ridiculous and awesome — fun to rock out to,” Neeb said. “It's an all-around good rock show, especially if you like the heavier rock stuff.” Tandem Eagle, The Baxters and The Black Frame Spectacle will take the stage in all their furry glory for this totally free show. Later, attendees will have the chance to shave their fave band member's faces as they auction off their 'staches.
You can also support the cause throughout the month by buying a paper moustache for $1 in the Oasis and The Out Back Shack.
Whether you proudly sport peach fuzz or sprout a 'stache like nobody's business, it's also vital to sign up to raise money for the cause by joining the Fanshawe Student Union's Movember team. Register by following the instructions at fsu.ca/movember. When you sign up, you get a T-shirt, a bracelet and two tickets to the pub event on Movember 28. Post your photos on your Movember profile page and use the #FStacheU hashtag on Twitter to share your hair with the Fanshawe community.
