Have you heard of MOvember? It’s the month formally known as November, where men around the globe get out their razors and shave their faces “clean”, and grow a “mo” aka mustache to make a difference this “MOvember.”
Team FranMo, captained by Franchise.com‘s very own Matt Bogart has registered 24 players. Their objectives are lofty – to raise awareness of men’s health issues and try to raise $50,000 during the month of November! Currently, the FranMo team has raised $3,190 dollars out of their $50,000 goal. This ranks them #139 nationally at the moment, but we anticipate a great outcome at the end of the month! In addition, this is a competition among nations and Canada is leading the fundraising efforts with $4,981,860 and the U.S. not too far behind at $4,532,011.
FranMo is a Franchise Industry inspired team, who’s motivation is “TO FURTHER DEMONSTRATE THE FRANCHISE COMMUNITIES COMMITMENT TO ‘GIVING BACK’ AND TO CHANGE THE FACE OF MEN’S HEALTH ISSUES BY ENCOURAGING AWARENESS AND RAISING FUNDS. WE’RE GROWING MO’S TO RAISE SOME DO(OUGH), AND SAVE SOME BRO’S… TEAM FRANMO THANKS YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT…”
About MOvember
The MOvember campaign encourages men to grow mustaches and the community to support them by creating an innovative, fun and engaging annual fundraising campaign that results in:
- Funds for men’s health programs
- Conversations about men’s health that lead to:
- Greater awareness and understanding of the health risks men face
- Men taking action to remain healthy
- Knowing what to do and take action when sick
MOvember has a very impressive track record. From 30 Mo Bros in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 to 1,127,152 Mo’s in 2012, MOvember, the power of the mustache has become a truly global movement that is changing the face of men’s health. While there is much work to be done, together they are changing the face of men’s health, one project at a time. No borders, no boundaries. I encourage you to take a closer look at the report cards, which are authored by the organization managing the project, which is either a MOvember Men’s Health Partner or the MOvember
