Now a yearly club fundraising effort, again this Movember, our City SC coaches teamed up to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health by attempting to grow ridiculous looking handlebar moustaches or taking up the ‘Move for Movember’ (walk/run/other 60+ miles) challenge in return for sponsorship/donations towards men’s health.
Our team of dedicated fundraisers managed to raise a very impressive $9,208 and were, again, one of the top fundraising teams in San Diego County. In fact, over the past seven years our team has raised $39,064 for Movember and Men’s Health.
Coach Alex Walker raised the most money with a staggering total of $1,464 while Coach Oli ran over 200 miles for the ‘Move For Movember’ challenge.
Well done all! Tremendous effort as per usual!
BACKGROUND
Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men. Movember is the leading global organization committed to changing the face of men’s health. They achieve this by challenging men/women to grow moustaches or ‘Move for Movember’ during Movember (the month formerly known as November) to spark conversation and raise funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems.
