Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors is “Taking Care of Business” again by kicking off its 12th year of Movember fundraising to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Hanley Investment Group has raised over $300k since 2011.
Movember is the leading charity dedicated to changing the face of men's health in the U.S. and around the world. Best known for their annual Movember fundraising campaign that takes place every November, Movember funds various projects and receives donations year-round. The men start clean-shaven on November 1st, and then, for the rest of the month, these men, known as "Mo Bros," groom and trim their moustaches to effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. The women, “Mo Sistas,” also participate in the fundraising efforts.
“We are a close group that enjoys a culture of camaraderie and competition, so it is always great to come to work and show off our moustache progress or, in some cases, the lack thereof due to being 'follicly-challenged.’ But, all kidding aside, we couldn’t do this without the very generous donations and support from our friends, family and business colleagues,” said Ed Hanley, president of Hanley Investment Group.
Hanley lost his father to prostate cancer in 2009. “This cause means a great deal to me and I don’t ever want other families and individuals to have to go through what our family did, losing my dad to prostate cancer,” said Hanley.
One in eight men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, according to Movember. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. In the U.S., the rate of male suicide is alarmingly high: approximately four in five suicides are men and over 100 men each day take their life in the U.S.
Hanley adds, “It feels good to make this kind of difference in our community and across the world and we hope together that we can stop men from dying too young.”
This year, Hanley and Nathan Holthouser, president of Coastal Commercial, will be co-hosting a fundraising evening on Tuesday, November 29, 2022, at 5:00 p.m., at Muldoon’s Irish Pub in Newport Beach, California. A portion of all bar sales from the night will be donated to Movember. The evening’s festivities will feature guest bartending by Ed Hanley and Lounge Group’s Mario Marovic. The Lounge Group is a premier Orange County food and beverage consulting firm that owns and operates various Orange County restaurants and bars like the Wild Goose Tavern, The Country Club and Muldoon’s Irish Pub. Additionally, Marovic was awarded 2022 Newport Chamber’s Business Person of the Year last month.
