What is Movember?
Movember is an annual event that occurs throughout the month of November, dedicated to raising awareness for men’s health issues, particularly prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. The movement encourages men to grow mustaches and support conversations around these important topics, fostering a sense of community and encouraging preventative care.
Our Mustache Growth Competition
At Universal Chiropractic, we are proud to participate in Movember by hosting an in-office mustache growth competition. This initiative not only adds a fun element to our workplace but also serves as a catalyst for meaningful discussions about men's health. Here’s how the competition works:
Competition Guidelines
Here’s how it works:
Shave it Clean: Start the month with a fresh shave. Send a picture on November 1st of your pre-mustache face to (716) 930-3338. Please state your name in the text! Sending this first picture will secure your spot as a contender.
Let it Grow: From Nov 1st through Nov 30th, let your ‘stache grow! No shaving it whatsoever!
Snap & Share: On Nov 30th, send a picture of your fully grown ‘stache to the phone number stated above
Get Social: We will post your before and after pictures on Facebook
Who Will Win?: The participant with the most likes and comments on their photo will win the title of Movember Mustache Champion! Each year we try to mix up the prizes but 2024’s winner will get 2 Sabres tickets that include 2 Sabres Access Passes
Why We Participate
The mustache growth competition serves several important purposes:
Awareness: By participating in Movember, we shine a light on critical health issues affecting men today. The visibility of our growing mustaches sparks conversations, allowing us to educate others about these health concerns.
Community Engagement: The competition fosters a sense of camaraderie among staff, creating a fun atmosphere where everyone can take part. Involving our patients helps to bridge the gap between healthcare providers and the community.
Support and Resources: The competition is a platform for sharing resources and support available for men’s health. It encourages individuals to take proactive steps regarding their health and well-being.
Encouragement of Conversations: Normalizing discussions about mental health and other issues facing men can lead to increased awareness and prompt individuals to seek help when needed.
Join us in our Movember mustache growth competition this year! Together, let's make a positive impact while having some fun along the way.
