About the Movember Foundation:
- The Movember Foundation is a global charity raising funds and awareness for men’s health.
- These funds deliver breakthrough research and support services to allow men to live longer, healthier lives. Since 2003, millions have joined the men’s health movement, raising $676 million CAD and funding over 1000 programs through impact investments, focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.
- The Foundation runs awareness and fundraising activities year-round, with the annual Movember campaign in November being globally recognized for its fun and innovative approach to raising money and getting men to take action for their health. During Movember, we challenge men to grow a moustache or to make a commitment to get active and MOVE, both of which are about real action for health and are done to spark conversation and raise vital funds and awareness.
- The Foundation’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on men’s health.
New this year, MOVE
What is MOVE?
- MOVE is a new way that men and women can participate in Movember.
- MOVE is the Movember Foundation’s 30-day fitness challenge to be more active and raise funds and awareness for men’s health.
- We still ask men to grow a moustache, but now both men and women can choose to MOVE for the 30 days of Movember.
- How you MOVE is up to you. Whether it’s a work out one day, a quick jog at lunchtime the next, an hour at the ping-pong table, or an epic bike ride, no MOVE is too big or small.
- MOVE is directly linked to Movember’s vision of having an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. The moustache starts a conversation about men’s health and MOVE puts our vision into immediate action.
