Movember Growing Strong

The handlebar, the horseshoe, the Dalí—these are just a few of the mustache styles you might have seen around the Lillis Business Complex this past month. For the second year in a row, Oregon MBA candidates participated in Movember, the international movement dedicated to raising awareness of—and funds for—men's health issues, raising a grand total of $9,579 so far (handily winning their gentleman's wager with their counterparts in the law school). The idea is simple: start the month with a bare upper lip and then let nature take its course—aided, perhaps, by some discreet trimming. Friends, family, and others support the efforts of the "Mo Bros"—and their female allies, the "Mo Sistas"—with donations to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, LIVESTRONG, and the Movember Foundation. Meanwhile, curiosity about the upper lip embellishments leads to frank talk about health and wellness. See the swashbuckling 'staches in action in the video above.
