Supporting Movember since 2023
We have been supporting Movember with Board consulting and support services since August 2023. We help Movember navigate monthly management reporting and annual budget cycles and drive a continuous improvement agenda that allows Movember to achieve a greater return on its investment in Board's intelligent planning and reporting platform.
This year, we intend to take our support a step further and join Movember's biggest fundraiser of the year! Growing a Mo for better men’s health grabs attention and starts meaningful conversations we'd be delighted to have and facilitate.
Keep track of our efforts here.
The Movember Foundation: Changing the Face of Men's Health
A simple idea born in Melbourne in 2003 has grown into a global movement that's revolutionising men's health. The Movember Foundation, started by a group of friends who decided to bring back the moustache, has evolved into a powerhouse charity tackling some of the most pressing issues in men's health today.
At its core, Movember is about more than just facial hair. The foundation focuses on three critical areas: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention. By encouraging men to grow moustaches during November, the foundation has created a unique and engaging way to spark conversations about these often overlooked health concerns.
Since its inception, Movember has raised an impressive $837 million and funded over 1,250 men's health projects worldwide. This financial muscle has allowed the foundation to support groundbreaking research and innovative health programs that make a real difference in men's lives.
The foundation's impact extends beyond fundraising. It has played a crucial role in changing societal attitudes towards men's health, encouraging men to be more open about their health concerns and to seek help when needed. This cultural shift is perhaps one of Movember's most significant achievements.
Today, the Movember Foundation operates in over 20 countries, with millions of participants joining the cause each year. Whether growing a moustache, exercising for the cause, or hosting events, people around the world are coming together to support men's health.
From its humble beginnings to its current status as a global health movement, the Movember Foundation has truly changed the face of men's health - and we are proud to be working with Movember team.
