Programs: The movember foundation is the global charity raising funds and awareness for men's health. Every movember, we challenge men to grow and women to support a moustache or to make a commitment to get active and move, both of which spark conversations and raise vital funds and awareness for men's health. We want to help men live longer, healthier and happier lives through investing in four key areas: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity. Since 2003, we've empowered millions of men and women to join the global men's health movement. Through the moustaches grown, the connections created and the conversations generated, we've raised over $650 million and helped fund over 1,000 breakthrough men's health programs in 21 countries.
