The Rules

As part of the Movember effort, we will be growing moustaches for the duration of the month of November. There are a few ground rules, however, that must be kept in mind:

1. Once registered, each Mo Bro must start November 1st with a clean-shaven face
2. For the entire month of November, each Mo Bro must grow and groom a moustache according to these rules:
- There is to be no joining of the Mo at the sideburns - that's a beard
- There is to be no joining of the handlebars at the chin - that's a goatee
- A small complimentary growth under the chin is allowed (aka the Tickler)

To participate, you will need to join the AoM team, and start collecting donations as you grow that fantastic Mo.

If you don't want to grow a mo, but want to do something to help, feel free to head over to the Donations Page to chip in a few bucks!

Watch this space for great giveaways and Mo-gress updates as the facial hair mounts up!

Comment by R. Stavros Bezas on November 22, 2009 at 7:43pm: I'm at $185, but they reported a $100 check three times so it's showing $385! I wish! I hope they reverse it in time, would hate to inflate my progress!

Comment by Matt Demers on November 22, 2009 at 7:37pm: Couple things:
1) I'm planning to be an english bartender for my gala. What are those armbands bartenders (classy ones) always wear? How would I acquire/make them?
2) I'm up to $290, and the Canadian team has made $830.

Comment by Shaun Daws on November 22, 2009 at 6:32pm: Update: Congratulations Michael Miller on achieving an amazing $1000! You've set the bar for the rest of us, Michael, well done!

Comment by Shaun Daws on November 22, 2009 at 2:48pm: Update: Great work this weekend, guys! We've now raised $5,474.80!

Comment by Michael W Miller on November 15, 2009 at 10:07pm: R. Starvos,

It seems to only work in Internet Explorer for me. Also, at times the site is wacky, which may be your issue.

Comment by R. Stavros Bezas on November 15, 2009 at 10:05pm: Has anyone else had an issue sorting out the Movember page to provide picture/other updates to your donation page? I could change things in the first few days but now I can't access that page. Feels like the page is not programmed right or I am a complete dumbass and cannot figure it out. Any insight would be appreciated...

Oh, and Day 15 is super awkward... my wife is nagging me everyday to shave it off!

Comment by Shaun Daws on November 15, 2009 at 7:14pm: Update: Alright guys, we're officially at the halfway mark - it's the 15th of Movember. So far we've collected $4048.50! This puts at about 40% of the way to our goal this year of $10000.

Today marks the first day of the Rate My Mo option on our MoSpace pages, so I'd recommend using it to build up a bit of enthusiasm among your friends and family. They can visit your mo-space and give you a rating between 1 and 5 (moustaches). For example, here's mine (just below my profile pic).

There are still quite a few guys on the team sitting at goose-eggs, so this week's mission, if you choose to accept it, is to get at least 1 donation, of any amount.

It's been an excellent effort so foar guys, so keep up the great work!
