Storeis X Movember: Doing Good Having Fun

During our last internal event on 4th November 2022, we joined Movember, an awareness-raising initiative for men’s health, which invites participants to grow mustaches and collect funds to support prevention.

What is Movember?

Globally, men die 6 years earlier than women. This is mainly related to the lack of awareness on preventing and treating male health problems, from prostate cancer to mental illnesses that can lead to suicide.

Movember is the only charity that addresses men’s health on an international scale, to fight some of the most severe problems that afflict men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide.

Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 male health projects around the world and aims to reduce the number of premature deaths among men by 25% by 2023.

What are Movember’s initiatives?

Joining Movember is simple! The movement includes several charitable initiatives, including:

• Grow a Mustache: patchy, lopsided, itchy, or epic, whatever Mo you grow this Movember, your face will raise funds and awareness for men’s health
• Move for Movember: run or walk 60km over the month. Why 60km? Because it represents the 60 men that every hour across the world commit suicide
• Host a special Mo-ment: rally a crew of friends, colleagues, or acquaintances and do something fun and easy, virtual or in person. Hosting an event is all about having a good time for a good cause
• Mo Your Own Way: commit to doing something meaningful for yourself and this cause. Whether it’s a grueling physical endurance test or some other wild card idea. Whether it’s for one day, for several weeks, or the whole year, take whatever Mo Your Own Way means to you and run with it
• Ask for a Donation: contribute financially to Movember’s fundraising, to finance more than 1,200 projects around the world.

Storeis x Movember: a special Mo-ment

We also wanted to contribute to Movember, organizing a special moment during one of our internal events. We decided to break the silence and share it externally because silence is the worst enemy of prevention.

Here you can see the photo that portrays us and testifies our support for this initiative: the whole team has grown mustaches (literally everybody, men and women 🥸)!

We then made a donation to make our small but significant contribution to the cause.

Because what is important is to do something good while having fun 💚
