Fees/Donation: $10 Your donation supports Movember Foundation The Movember Foundation is the global charity raising funds and awareness for men's health. Every Movember we challenge men to grow and women to support a moustache, commit to move, or host an event, all of which raise vital funds and awareness for men's health. We want to help men live longer, healthier and happier lives through investing in these key areas: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Since 2003, we've empowered over 5 million men and women to join the global men's health movement. Through the moustaches grown, the connections created and the conversations generated, we've raised over $911 million and helped fund over 1,250 vital men's health programs in more than 20 countries.

Across the country, people like you and I are stuck at home wanting to help. Social distancing is working, but we can do more. In the coming weeks nearly every American will receive a stimulus check to help pay rent, shop for food, and support local businesses during the COVID19 pandemic. Some of us are in stable financial situations and don't need that money now. We have the opportunity to redirect these funds in order to support members of our community who may not be so fortunate. How You Can Help: 1. If you're waiting to receive a check, pledge at hometeamfund.org. 2. If you're not getting a check or have already received one. Donate now! Your donation will help provide food, supplies, and services to people in our community. LifeMoves and Second Harvest of Silicon Valley are awesome organizations. You can learn more below.
