MOVEMBER came and went, raising funds, awareness and a few eyebrows along the way. Best of all Beyond Blue and Prostate Cancer Research and their campaigns will benefit from the month of wearing moustaches.
That means all blokes and their nearest and dearest - will benefit from the cash and exposure Movember brought.
Movember boxes were around town filling up with donations.
Ocean Grove Hotel gave 50c per drink and raised $300 for Movember.
Club Grove did a reverse shave. Four people involved in that shave were general manager Michael Lewis – who had a mo for about 3 months, Steve ‘Chooka’ Piec who’d had a mo for 38 yrs – his daughter has never seen him without one, Barney Meddings, who’d had a mo for 40 years, and Noel Sherwell – who’d been moustached for 36 yrs
They aimed to raise $350, but actually raised over $400. Club Grove then topped that up to $600.
On Sunday night hundreds – still being counted – was raised when Mocean Grove held its end of Movember party at Ocean Grove Pizza and Pasta. The total will be announced in the next edition of the Voice.
That’s thanks to all the generous businesses in Ocean Grove that donated goods to be auctioned and raffled. Huge thanks to them and to Joe and the team for use of the venue.
Movember will be back next year, watch this space.
