The PGA of Canada teams up with Movember
The PGA of Canada is once again proud to fight the good fight and support Movember.
Each year during the month of November, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on hundreds of thousands of men’s faces around the world. Men grow and women support the moustache for 30 days to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s health initiatives.
Last year in Canada, nearly 250,000 men and women participated in Movember, raising $42-million to help change the face of men’s health.
