Increasing Men’s Health Awareness During “Movember”
Approximately 165 Westminster students and faculty purchased $10 “license to grow” certificates for mustaches during the month of November in support of men’s health. Fifth Form Dean Grant Gritzmacher and the Student Council spearheaded the fundraiser as a part of a worldwide campaign of the Movember Foundation “to have fun while raising funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems.”

While most of the participants were male “mo-bros,” females on campus were encouraged to support the fundraiser as “mo-sistas.” A total of $1,679 was raised. While Dean Gritzmacher was pleased by the monetary success of the campaign, he said the educational aspect of raising awareness of men’s health issues among the students was important too.
