No Shave Movember started in Australia as a way to generate awareness and raise money for mens health issues, particularly prostate and testicular cancers.� The idea is that when a man grows a mustache or a beard, people ask him why, opening the door to educate people about mens health.
John Fenton, CEO, and Joe Herbst, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, of NJ-based Affinity Federal Credit Union ($2 billion in assets) decided to play off the Today Shows Al Roker and Matt Lauer and are going head-to-head to see who can go longest without shaving to raise awareness among the companys 370 employees and 133,000 members.
Employees and members can pick their team Team John or Team Joe -- and make a pledge to the Affinity Foundation (a 501(c)3 charitable organization) for each day they go unshaven.� Their challenge will end no later than December 3.
One hundred percent of the funds raised will be donated to the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey to support free prostate cancer screenings.
