Movember

Men’s health matters. The Movember Foundation is shedding light on seldom-discussed men’s mental and physical health issues through their notorious Movember Campaign this month. For instance, did you know that in 2011, men accounted for 75 percent of all suicides in Canada? Were you also aware that 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer? These are staggering stats. Luckily, the Movember Foundation is working to change all of this by generating funds that support men affected by prostate and testicular cancer as well as mental health.

Every November, Choices gets on board with the Movember campaign to raise funds for the cause. We sell mustache cookies and $1 from each sale goes toward the Movember campaign. In 2014 we raised $1,700. Hope you all enjoyed your cookies!
