About Movember

Movember a blend of “mo” (moustache) + “November” is more than just a month-long moustache growing challenge. It’s a global movement dedicated to changing the face of men’s health.

Founded in 2003 in Melbourne, Movember invites men ("Mo Bros") to grow a moustache, and women ("Mo Sisters") to support the cause through conversation, fundraising, and advocacy.

Over the past two decades, Movember has evolved into a powerhouse charity, funding over 1,250 men’s health projects worldwide and tackling issues often left unspoken.

What Movember Supports

Movember focuses on the key pillars of men’s health:

  • Mental health & suicide prevention

  • Prostate cancer

  • Testicular cancer

By investing in research, education, and support programs, Movember works to help men live healthier, happier, longer lives. Because too many men slip through the cracks often silently. movember.com
