Thank you to all who participated in the Movember 2011 campaign!

Together, our faculty under the mEUStacular team, raised $2,163 for research in prostate cancer and brought awareness to men’s health issues in part through pledging to grow moustaches through month of November. A big shout out to Diane Currie and Katherine Babcock, the EUS charity coordinators for heading up this effort.

Below are some highlights!

Charity Coordinators Diane Currie and Katherine Babcock are seen her with the EUS VP Academic Jack Park.  Diane and Katherine were captains of team mEUStacular, and raised several hundred dollars on top of individual fundraising through events like the Movember Charity Auciton, coin collections and food and drink sales!

How mo’ can you go? We’re currently halfway though our Movember 2010 campaign and so far we’ve raised nearly $850! Super Excellent! But we gotta raise more if we’re gonna beat prostate cancer (And UBC-O….Bastages). There are a tonne of Movember related events coming up in the 2nd half of the Month. Ranging from a super classy Casino night, to 70′s night featuring a boat-racing rematch with Forestry. Stay tuned to this blog, and facebook for more info as the month progresses. Peace out!
