Movember

Something that differs from No Shave November is a charitable organization known as Movember.

However, contrary to that of No Shave November, according to public relations person Abbie Rumery, the confusion between the two runs rampant, and that Movember is only about the mustache, rather than beards and goatees.

According to College/University Engagement manager Doug Prusoff, this is because contrary to beards and goatees, the mustache triggers more conversation, leading to more opportunities to talk about men's health and Movember.

Also, according to the Movember website, the organization has grown significantly over the years since its inception in 2003, going from just 30 participants and no funds raised to 1.1 million participants world wide and $147 million raised.
