Maroons Again Supporting Movember Awareness

On Sunday, November 29th the Maroons’ home game against the Sarnia Legionnaires has been designated as “Movember Awareness Night.”
The “Movember” movement which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars, started out as a simple effort to raise awareness for men’s illnesses when two friends in Australia dreamt up the idea in a bar. Now Movember happens in over twenty countries.
The Movember Foundation, using the moustache as a catalyst, wants to bring about change and give men the opportunity and confidence to learn and talk about their health and take action when needed.
As a global men’s health movement, the Movember Foundation has the ambition to contribute to improving the lives of men around the world. This will be achieved through programs they fund in the areas of:
- Awareness & Education
- Living with Cancer
- Research
- Mental Health
You can help the Maroons by bidding on the chance to SHAVE THE MOUSTACHE OF YOUR FAVOURITE PLAYER following the game. Or by buying a raffle ticket on autographed Maroon hockey items donated by Mike Wonnacott of Simply Vinyl Signs & Graphics and Dean Outhouse of RPM Designs.
Game time is 7 PM.
