In honor of Giving Day, we document the journey of Bidtellect’s “Mo Bros,” who took No Shave November by storm to raise money and awareness for Movember.
Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health. The movement-turned-charity raises funds and awareness to save men’s lives with projects focused on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.
Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world. By 2030, they aim to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%.
The Growth Period
At the beginning of November, participants set fundraising goals and captured a “before” picture of their facial hair. Throughout the month, they offered updates on the growth on their reasons for participating. Overwhelmingly, the Bidtellect Mo Bros recognized that “No Shave November” would raise awareness and discussion around men’s health.
Director of Quality Karl Hentschel offered frequent updates of his growth. We love this one:
“Day 21! The fuzz is lookin’ real good. Coworkers think I could either pass as an Oxford professor or I should join a biker club. Vote and maybe I’ll dress up as the winner!”
The Shave Off
On the first day back after Thanksgiving, Bidtellectuals gathered for the post-November Shave Off. Participants showed off their varying degrees facial hair, from creepy staches to beards that would make Santa proud (lookin’ at you Mike). Bidtellect founder John Ferber called on a veteran barber of 50 years to professional shaves to those that requested it. He’s pictured above posing with Bidtellectuals in the Florida office.
The Vote and Results
Bidtellectuals voted for such categories as “most appealing mustache” and overall “Mr. Movember.” VP of Product Arthur Hainline swept virtually every category – a well-deserved win, as he brought Movember back to Bidtellect and encouraged participation!
Bidtellect raised $1,660
Wohoo!! We are so proud!
