HIGHTSTOWN, N.J.–It appears it will once again be a hairy November.
A number of credit unions and associations have indicated they will once again be participating in the “Movember Movement” next month as a fundraiser and effort to raise awareness around men’s health issues.
Participants in “Movember” typically compete to see who can grow the best mustache or beard during the month. During 2014, for instance, the New Jersey CU League had 26 participants in its contest, which raised $1,040.
This year, the league is donating $10 per participant to the cause, plus for every day each participant goes unshaven, the league will also donate $1 to the Movember Movement.
The NJCUL said it will “be holding periodic contests through the month and the days following to celebrate the unshaven mess of the New Jersey credit union community.”
