The Movember Open: Play for your health, play for men’s health

Movember started in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 with 30 “Mo Bros.” Since then, the movement has made its way around the world, raising millions of dollars while ending stigma and supporting men’s health initiatives. The organization has helped fund over 1200 different projects. We love the Movember values, which include being a change agent, being innovative and developing a community around the cause. Over 5 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas participated in 2015 . They went 30 to 5 million real quick!

Let’s up it this year.

We want you to participate in Movember. In fact, so much so, we’re gonna pay up.

So how does the money go from us to Movember? Well, that’s where you come in.
