Movember Celebration
On December 2, MBK Houston closed off the month of November by hosting a celebratory event to celebrate all Houston Health Department employees who have participated in Movember to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. During Movember, men could choose to either grow a mustache or join women in committing to get active and move every day of the month, both of which are about real action for health and are done to spark conversation and raise vital funds and awareness. Since 2003, millions have joined the men’s health movement, raising more than $650 million and funding over 1,000 programs through impact investments, focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health, and physical inactivity. The Houston Health Department proudly raised $1,375 in just a month! MBK is hoping to make Movember a bigger and even better event next year for the entire Houston community!
Feel free to watch the informal discussion that was held at the celebratory event about the importance of raising awareness for men's health:
