  Movember - a time for hairy faced men!
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) a number of EPCC Members are growing a Mo. That's right we are bringing the Mo back to help raise funds to tackle men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer. To donate to our Mo growing efforts you can either: Write a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation', referencing my Registration Number 1421276 and mailing it to:
Movember Foundation
PO Box 292
Prahran VIC 3181 Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible. (Note that the team is set-up on the Movember website under the name of Eildon Park Panthers or under the individual name Warren Griffin, the funds do not go to the EPCC or to Warren but direct to the Movember Foundation)
The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative. The PCFA and beyondblue will use the funds to fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and depression. For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the details at: [ Fundraising Outcomes ]. Thanks for your support. More information is available at http://www.movember.com/. Movember is proudly grown by Holden and Schick. Movember is proud partners with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative.
