The mustache once was a symbol of a man's entry into the dignified elite. In modern times, however, the mustache has fallen from grace.
Currently in America today we find ourself at a low point of mustache-acceptance. What better way to start a cultural movement than to embrace an unpopular social practice in attempt to raise money for charity? The Mustache 4 Cash Fundraiser was born of this idea. Our goal is threefold. Revive a once-glorious grooming practice, humiliate ourselves in the process, and raise some cash for a worthy cause.
The event is quite simple,
1.) Young professional males agree to grow a mustache during the month of October
2.) They then ask family, friends, co-workers etc. to sponsor them during their life-altering journey.
3.) All growers, friends, family, donors attend the various events at local area bars and restaurants to support the growers.
Do what we do. Fix them with a steely gaze and tell them the truth: "It's for the kids." Then ask them to make a donation.

• Growers shave ALL facial hair on Thursday, September 28th.
• Grow a mustache. No beards, No goatees. NOTHING below the bottom lip.
• The use of growth hormones and coloring agents is not condoned or sanctioned by Mustache4Cash.
• Raise money. The minimum we are asking each grower to attempt to raise is $250.
• The money raised should be turned in at each How’s it Growing Party, no later than the Finale event.
• For those individuals who cannot grow a mustache for reasons relating to a potential divorce or firing from employment. We offer the $400 buy-out option. For a measly donation of $400, participants will be given a fake mustache for the events and a tee shirt to identify their participation.
Checks should be made payable to the Youth Opportunity Foundation.
