Greetings lovers of facial hair and charity,
Mustaches for Kids, America’s favorite mustache-based charity organization, is back for another year of questionable grooming. The 2008 Growing Season kicks off on Shaving Day (Thursday, November 13th) and concludes mid-December.
Mustaches for Kids is a volunteer-run organization founded way back in 1999 to celebrate the joys of Mustaches and charity. Its formula is a simple one: brave Growers sprout totally sweet Mustaches for four weeks during the holiday season. They subject themselves to public humiliation and private doubt, while raising money for children’s charities. It’s kind of like getting pledges to run a marathon, without exertion, cramping or dehydration. Call it a facial hair marathon.
This year, a bunch of Mustaches for Kids chapters across the country will grow Mustaches to benefit DonorsChoose.org teachers and students, like Baltimore, Charlotte, Los Angeles, New York, Wilmington DE, Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle, just to name a few.
Not yet convinced that growing a Mustache is both charitable and suave? You can read about the shenanigans from the New York chapter’s 2007 Growing Season. Or, you can read the journey of one Grower from Charlotte last year.
Email mustachesforkids (at) donorschoose (dot) org if you’re interested in growing a ‘stache this fall. And if you want to go for the gold and start a chapter in your city, here is an inspirational how-to kit to start your own Mustaches for Kids chapter!
Word to your future ‘stache,
- Mitch Goldman, Head Grower, Mustaches for Kids Interworld Headquarters
- Katie Bisbee, DonorsChoose.org Employee and Charlotte, NC Mustache Enthusiast
It takes a little bit of effort, but a lot of courage to suject yourself, your family and your co-workers to the mustachioed version of yourself. Thanks for sharing these stories, they remind us why we do it. I’m actually looking forward to the growing season. It’s great to see the tangible difference our little effort is making. Thanks!

Didn’t you know about new flu revelations? It’s something strange for me, but it seems to be quiet these days.
But anyway, we have the best fle vaccine – enter

Ok, this is kind of weird but I just ran across this YouTube video: Kesha Tik Tok
It’s this girl who calls herself Ke$ha (Yes that’s Kesha with a dollar sign lol) But she’s got this music video called Tic Toc and the lyrics are funny. It’s kind of catchy believe it or not. At one point she mentions something like “I brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack…” obviously has a drinking problem. Either way check it out and let me know what you think of it. Like it or hate it?
…And is it weird that I got it stuck in my head? :-)
