Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors has raised awareness and critical funds for men’s health in November, one moustache at a time. Hanley Investment Group raised $35,000 for The Movember Foundation, surpassing what the group raised last year.
Hanley Investment Group’s fundraising efforts landed the group in the top 25 out of 15,000 teams nationwide (the top 1% in the U.S.). Hanley Investment Group has raised more than $102,000 for the Movember Foundation since 2011. Proceeds are directed to programs that are run directly by Movember and their men’s health partners.
The Movember Foundation is one of the largest global men’s health charities investing in programs to address prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and physical inactivity. “The moustache continues to be an iconic way for participants to encourage dialogue around men’s health issues,” said Hanley Investment Group President Ed Hanley. “Having lost my father to prostate cancer in 2009, this annual tradition of participating in Movember is near and dear to me. I am honored to help bring awareness to this cause and humbled by everyone’ financial support.”
Hanley Investment Group joined the global movement to help raise awareness for men’s cancer, specifically prostate cancer, by growing moustaches as a team. November 1st the men started clean shaven and for the rest of the month, these men, known as "Mo Bros," groomed and trimmed their moustaches to effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Supported by the women in their lives, "Mo Sistas," Movember Mo Bros raised funds by seeking out sponsorships for their moustache growing efforts.
The Movember Foundation is a global charity raising funds and awareness for men’s health. These funds deliver breakthrough research and support services to allow men to live longer, healthier, happier lives. Since 2003, millions have joined the men’s health movement, raising more than $650 mil and funding over 1,000 programs through impact investments, focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity. The Foundation runs awareness and fundraising activities year-round, with the annual Movember campaign in November being globally recognized for its fun and innovative approach to raising money and getting men to take action for their health.
During Movember, the Foundation challenges men to grow a moustache or to make a commitment to get active and MOVE, both of which are about real action for health and are done to spark conversation and raise vital funds and awareness. The Foundation’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on men’s health. See www.movember.com.
