November 2009 marked Pariveda’s second straight participation in Movember.
A Mo Bro starts Movember – the month formerly known as November – clean shaven, and grows a moustache all month long, garnering support from friends and family in the form of donations. What’s more, a Mo Bro is a walking billboard for the cause as his new look opens the door for him to talk about cancers affecting men – making the moustache a symbol, much like the pink ribbon is for breast cancer.
This year, Team Pariveda raised over $2100 with fins across multiple offices, including support from our clients! This year’s proceeds will be split between the Prostate Cancer and Lance Armstrong Foundations. The Lance Armstrong Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund the LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance program which has the goal of improving survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40 as well as research initiatives to further understand the biology of adolescent and young adult cancers.
Thank you to everyone who participated and donated; here’s looking forward to Movember 2010!
