How it Works
M4K Richmond (Mustaches for Kids) improves the quality of life for local children through individual fundraising, partnering with local charities and businesses, and having a little bit of fun with facial hair. Each year, during the four-week Growing Season spanning November and December, Growers sprout sweet, sweet Mustaches. Per Mustaches for Kids bylaws, they shave their faces, except for the Mustache, a minimum of once a week and solicit donations from friends, family, coworkers, and people in the community--kind of like getting pledges to run a marathon, without the exertion, cramping, or dehydration. Call it a facial hair marathon.
I would not be as successful a grower without the friends and family supporting my efforts! Furthermore, I could not do this without your support. Sure, it's fun to grow a mustache, but to know you're making a difference in the lives of children makes it even better. Every dollar makes a difference, just like every whisker makes a sweet 'stache!
Why I grow: One special thing about M4K Richmond is that it is completely local, and all the proceeds stay local. This is not true of every mustache charity. Since this organization is local, there is a strong camaraderie of returning growers. I have formed many strong friendships that I look forward to seeing each year. Finally, I can't grow a beard, but I can grow a mustache, so I revel in this part of my manhood!!!!
