Join Movember to Raise Awareness and Funds for Men's Health
Movember is reaching out to Oxford United as well as the entire football community to grow a moustache and raise awareness for men’s health. Clubs at all levels around the UK, from the park to the Premier League, are backing the campaign including us here at OUFC.Locally grown moustaches were once a common occurrence on the Manor Ground pitch and indeed on pitches up and down the country. A team without a mustachioed talisman was a rarity and many were born and bred in their hometown.
Movember aims to celebrate those golden times and relish the sight of real men with real moustaches gracing the pitches of the UK once more. Players and supporters can still be heroes on and off the pitch through the power of their upper lips and locally grown moustaches. Man-made and changing the face of men’s health. Made in Movember and making a real difference to men’s lives. Now.
Movember has raised £345m for men’s health over the last ten years and has been responsible for over 850 initiatives concerned with prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s mental health.
In the UK, through collaboration with our health partners Prostate Cancer UK and the Institute of Cancer Research, coupled with direct funding from the Movember foundation, Movember are committed to accelerating outcomes in key areas of men’s health and this year, for the first time, is also raising funds for men’s mental health in the UK. It’s a key fundraising way of showing your support and one that is great to be a part of.
Whether you’re a fan or a player, support your local moustaches this Movember.
