A group of men displaying moustaches for Movember.

Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.[1] It is a portmanteau of the Australian-English diminutive word for moustache, "mo",[2] and "November".[3] The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at Movember.com.[4] The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health."[5]

By encouraging men (whom the charity refers to as "Mo Bros") to get involved, Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths. Besides annual check-ups, the Movember Foundation encourages men to be aware of family history of cancer and to adopt a healthier lifestyle.[6] Using the moustache as the driving symbol of the movement, Movember focuses on the three key areas of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention.[7] Since inception, the Movember Foundation has raised $837 million and funded over 1,200 projects in more than 20 countries.[8]

Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has run Movember events to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and depression, in Australia and New Zealand. In 2007, events were launched in Ireland, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Spain, the United Kingdom, Israel, South Africa, Taiwan and the United States.[9][10][11][12] As of 2011, Canadians were the largest contributors to the Movember charities of any nation.[13] In 2010, Movember merged with the testicular cancer event Tacheback.[14]

In 2012, the Global Journal listed Movember as one of the world's top 100 NGOs (non-government organization).[15]
