It was a mustache to remember. The Hotel Donaldson, our compatriots in Grand Forks, a bunch of mustached guys, some caring non-mustached women and plenty of supporting area businesses raised just over $30,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation during the month of "Movember." (For more on Movember, click here, here and here.) If you were involved, give yourself a big round of applause.
We capped off Movember with Bros On Broadway, a benefit event and celebration of the mustache. We had great music, lots of chili and nachos and, well, a lot of mustaches. A hearty thanks to Britta at Milestones Photography for the great photos.

We thank everyone who was involved with Movember and with Bros On Broadway. We had a blast and raised some serious funds for a great cause. If you didn't get in on the fun this year, there's always next year. And, in the meantime, please use this opportunity to educate yourself on men's health issues - particularly prostate health - and give a hand to the Prostate Cancer Foundation while you're at it. You can visit them online at www.prostatecancerfoundation.org.
We'll see you next Movember!
