Hello one and all!
For the second year, we here at BuildDirect have gathered a group of ragtag, mustache-worthy misfits for this year’s Movember fundraising effort. All proceeds for our team’s efforts will be donated to Prostate Cancer Canada.
See the BuildDirect Movember Team page (‘Eenie, Meenie, Miney, MOs’) to get a list of our participants, and to find out a little about their MOtivations are for getting involved.
Take a look at this video which explains what Movember is, and how this global effort raises awareness and funds for men’s health, specifically for prostate cancer research.
In addition to taking donations for the Movember charity, our guys have organized an event on November 26, here in Vancouver at the St. Regis Bar and Grill. You can learn about that event on our Facebook event page and you can also see some of the fabulous Mo’s from last year, including yours truly. I’m front and center sporting what the team dubbed the “dirty cop on the take” mustache.
Last year the BuildDirect Movember team raised over $800 and we’re hoping to crush that number this year. Please feel free to donate to the cause and come on out to the event if you are in Vancouver on Nov. 26
Here’s to the Mo’!
Another worthy charity event I’m supporting this year is the 2009 SEO Poker Tournament in Las Vegas, Nov . 12 at the Mirage.

Great to see the people of Van getting their Mo’ on! We’d love to see your Mo’ inspired, or Mo’ challenge efforts, check out the video contest we’re running to support Prostate Cancer awareness. http://memelabs.com/movember
Thanks!
Hi Kate,
Thanks for the heads up on the contest. I’ve sent it along to the BuildDirect Movember team.

Rob, I love how much fun you are having with this. My nephew took part in Movember last year with his officemates in Tokyo – you can imagine the explaining they had to do given the local culture!
Great blog and website. I’m glad to have stumbled upon it.
