Movember Jax

Movember Jax is the Jacksonville, Florida chapter of the Movember Foundation — a worldwide charity working to change the Face of Men’s Health by growing mustaches throughout the month of November to raise awareness and funds for prostate and testicular cancer.

About Movember

Mo, slang for moustache in Australia, and November come together each year to form Movember. The Movember Foundation is a worldwide charity working to Change the Face of Men’s Health by growing mustaches throughout the month of November to raise awareness and funds for prostate and testicular cancer.

The rules are simple. Mo Bros start November clean-shaven and grow a moustache for 30 days while their friends and family support them by making donations online. Mo Sistas can also help by collecting donations online, participating in Movember events, and supporting their Mo Bros.

Last year we raised almost $15,000 in the Jacksonville-area alone, and over $42 million in donations were raised worldwide. US donations benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
