“The month of November saw eight teams [ranging from 2-15 members each] and seven individuals grow moustaches and raise $60,000 by the MOfinale in support of men’s health initiatives in Bermuda.
“The fundraising awards will be announced on December 15th, giving all participants the opportunity to submit their fundraising dollars, including corporate matching no later than 2.00pm on December 6th. Donations are still being accepted through movember.bm to support any of this year’s participants.
“Funds raised by MOvember Bermuda enable Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre to host their annual Men’s Health Screening event. This year’s screening event saw almost 300 men attend and take advantage of a range of free health screening services. Funds raised also support men who do not have health insurance afford prostate consultations, exams, prostate biopsies and radiation therapy treatment.”
