Husky Movember squad raise funds for prostate cancer research
January 22, 2014 · 0 Comments
This year, 32 people from Husky Injection Molding Systems participated in Movember Canada.
This is part of an international fundraising campaign that challenges men around the world to grow a moustache or mo’ throughout the entire month of November to raise money for prostate cancer research.
Movember has generated a lot of fun and friendly competition around Husky’s Bolton campus, as everyone has tried to out-grow and out-fundraise each other. As November has ended, the Husky Movember squad has collectively raised more than $8,600 in donations. This year, a record 173,283 Canadian men participated in Movember, raising more than $29 million so far and placing first internationally.
Movember is a small fundraising campaign that started in Australia in 2003 to raise funds for prostate cancer. It has since evolved into an international effort to improve men’s health and has official campaigns in more than 20 countries around the world. This year, more than 967,000 men participated in Movember globally raising more than $105,000,000 to date.
These employees of Husky Injection Molding Systems were right in the Movember spirit in November.
