During November of each year, the Movember charitable movement is responsible for the sprouting of mustaches on thousands of men’s faces across the US and around the world! With their moustaches, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.

In support of this noble cause, and in the spirit of having fun while doing so, the USLMRA announces the creation of MOWvember, and will support this international effort with an Official USLMRA Movember.com Fundraising Team and a USLMRA MOWvember Mustache Contest!

“Much like we remove the blades from our racing mowers, this November we’ll remove the blades from our razors to raise awareness and money for men’s health,” said Bruce Kaufman, “Mr. Mow It All” USLMRA President.   “Some call it Movember, but we say… Welcome to MOWvember! We hope folks will join our team and get MOWTIVATED to raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation. But the winner of “best ‘stache” contest will not be selected on how much money he raises, but by the popular vote of the lawn mower racing community at LetsMow.com and on Facebook! ”

How It Works

During MOWvember, the USLMRA will encourage people to raise funds via an Official USLMRA Movember.com Team run by Bruce ‘Mr. MowItAll’ Kaufman and will also present its own MOWvember Mustache Contest for the lawn mower racing community.

Between now and the end of the Sam Rodgers U.S. All American Open race in Alabama – November 7th –  guys register using the links below with a clean-shaven face. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men must groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. MOWvember participants and the women in their lives raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts and growing a mustache effectively makes you a walking, talking billboard for the 30 days of MOWvember!

At the end of the month, MOWvember Mustache Contest participants will submit final photos of their kick grass mustache and a week-long voting period will be opened to the lawn mower racing community. Voting will take place on Facebook and LetsMow.com, and at the end of the week, the winner of the MOWvember Mustache Contest will be notified and the Prize Pack will be shipped to him.

About The Movember Campaign

The funds raised in the US support prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. The funds raised are directed to programs run directly by Movember and their men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Together, the three channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programs in line with their  strategic goals in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.

In 2010, over 64,500 US Mo Bros and Mo Sistas got on board, raising $7.5 million USD.
