If you were to walk around our offices today, you’d see our Radian6 guys sporting some clean shaven, boyish faces. While this is nothing new for some of them, for others, it’s the first time their skin has seen the light of day in years . So what brought on this change? A new trend? HR guidelines? Multiple, horrible freak barbecue accidents? No! It’s all for the great charity known as Movember.

Movember is a charity event that runs throughout the entire month of November. It gets its name from the very unique fundraising effort that consists of male participants (known as Mo Bros) starting with a clean shaven face and growing a moustache (a “Mo”) over the month while fundraising. Women supporting the cause (known as Mo Sistas) also help raise funds and support their Mo Bros. All donations from this mass Mo-growing effort go toward finding a cure for male-related cancers. You can find out more about Movember right here.

It’s a cruel reality nowadays that most of us can vividly picture a moment in our lives when we found out someone we care for was diagnosed with cancer. Often times we’re left feeling like there’s nothing we can do but watch as our loved ones fight for their lives. This month we have a chance to stop watching and act. Radian6 is proud to support Movember as part of its Community Giving Back Program for non-profits. We’re even prouder to do our part to help raise funds for this great cause as a team (and grow some great mo’s, as well).

Clicking here will take you to the Radian6 team donation page. Also, pay attention to our Facebook fan page photo album and our Twitter account for update photos of our male employees and their mo’s throughout the month. But don’t just watch us; ACT! Create a team, donate, and grow a Mo! This is a month for us to not be affected by cancer but to be the affect that helps to positively change the future.
