Movember, an Australian non-profit organization, was born in 2003 when a couple of Australian mates were enjoying a beer at a small bar in Melbourne and decided two things – men’s health issues needed a forum and the moustache was in dire need of a comeback. Their goal was to create a campaign that joined like-minded individuals while raising money for charity and having fun along the way.
In 2007, 81 DC ‘Mo Bros’ raised $48,497, with DC President Nick Adcock owning the bragging rights by raising the most money for the cause giving back $18,790. This year DC is even further committed to supporting Movember by offering the Ponto sandal, that was designed to reflect the 2008 tag line, “United We Believe” with a portion of the proceeds ($5 of every sandal sold) going directly back to Movember. To participate visit www.dcshoes.com/movember, which goes live November 1, where you can purchase the sandal and be a part of this global effort. Men can also register starting October 1 at www.movember.com and create a profile to feature their 'stache growing progress and collect donations for the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
