Mustaches for a Cause

There were some hairy faces around the University of Oregon last month—including UO President Richard Lariviere—as business students took the leading on organizing Movember on campus. Movember is an awareness campaign for men's health issues in which men grow mustaches during the month of November. MBA students JJ Owen, Wes Petticrew, Rishi Mukhi, and Judy Sheldon were the ringleaders for the movement on campus, which involved t-shirts on sale at The Duck Store, video presentations at Autzen stadium during football games, and several news appearances. In all, the UO campaign raised nearly $10,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
