This week, you have probably seen some glorious mustaches and some laughable baby faces. Why, you ask? MOVEMBER. What is Movember, you ask? Well, my inquisitive friend, let me lead you on a magical mustache ride full of facts, figures and fuzz.
Movember is an annual month-long festival dedicated to changing the face of men’s health, sponsored internationally by the Movember Fund and at Bowdoin by your 2014 Class Council, Bowdoin Men Against Sexual Violence (BMASV) and Peer Health.
The goal is simple: throughout the month formerly known as November, honorable men and women will pledge to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. Specifically, Movember aims to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer, as well as mental health issues.
