October 13, 2011 – PRESS SUMMARY – Next month, iStockphoto’s community of seven million members around the world are being urged to help bring awareness to men’s health concerns and prostate cancer by joining the company in support of Movember. Movember is a global initiative that includes a moustache growing charity event held during November each year to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer.
iStockers can participate in Movember in many ways and win fun contests and free stuff while doing something good. iStock will also match up to $10,000 of the funds raised. Here are details of how to get involved:
Join the iStache Team: Visit www.Movember.com, register for your country and join Team iStache. Then watch your moustache grow and raise local funds through friends and family to support awareness of men’s health issues.
How it works: Men register with a clean-shaven face. The Movember participants, known as Mo Bros, then spend the rest of the month growing and grooming their Mos, raising money along the way. Women can still become Mo Sisters and raise funds too.
Mo Rules: (From Movember.com):
A Mo is defined according to the Movember rules:
- There is to be no joining of the Mo to side burns – That’s a beard.
- There is to be no joining of the handlebars – That’s a goatee.
- A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip is allowed (aka a tickler).
