Movember is a global movement that raises awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. Companies should recognize and celebrate Movember because it is an opportunity to promote a culture of health and wellness in the workplace, encourage employees to take charge of their own health, raise awareness of important men's health issues, and make a difference in the lives of men and their families.
How your company can celebrate Movember
The following initiatives were curated by our team of social impact experts that execute thoughtful social impact efforts for our customers every day. Some of these initiatives are easy enough to accomplish internally, but for others, you will need to lean on a social impact program or team.
Don’t have a social impact program or team? Learn more about Percent Pledge powered customized social impact programs, a single source for donations, volunteering, charity vetting, & impact reports.
[1] Donations
Our Percent Pledge Movember Cause Portfolio contains three highly-regarded, thoroughly vetted nonprofits that help take the guesswork out of choosing the right organization for your company and employees to donate to and partner with.
Movember Foundation
Movember's mission is to help raise funds and awareness for all of the dads, brothers, sons, and friends in our lives.
Prostate Cancer Foundation
The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) funds the world’s most promising research to improve the prevention, detection, and treatment of prostate cancer and ultimately cure it for good.
Men's Health Network
Men's Health Network is on a mission to reach men and their families where they live, work, play, and pray with health prevention messages and tools, screening programs, educational materials, advocacy opportunities, and patient navigation.
Percent Pledge allows all companies and employees to donate to these nonprofits simultaneously through its Workplace Giving Platform.
[2] Volunteering
Time is invaluable, and volunteering your organization’s time, while inspiring your employees to do the same, is often the greatest gift you can give. It’s the perfect team building event and can have an incredibly positive impact on your employees and your organization.

Who doesn’t love a little friendly competition? Gather your team and compete in one of the Movember Challenges to be crowned the Ultimate Fundraising Champions.
Host a Mo-Ment
Rally your employees and do something fun and easy, virtual or in person with Movember. Whether it's a mustache or movement competition, hosting is all about having a good time for a good cause.
A single volunteer event takes 20-30 hours to plan and execute. Learn how Percent Pledge saves your company that time by organizing customized volunteer events.
[3] Other ways to support
Inspire your employees to get involved to spread support. No gesture is too small.
Grow a mustache
Ask your friends, family, teammates, and colleagues to Grow with you and the Movember community. More mustaches means more conversations, donations, and lifesaving awareness.
Move for Movember
Encourage employees to Move for Movember, track their miles, and upload to their Movember fundraising page.
