Movember!

I wanted to help pass the word along about a good cause. Some of my friends and co-workers are growing moustaches for Movember (the month formerly known as November) to help the fight against prostate cancer. I'm helping raise funds and awareness because I think it is important to help men understand their own health issues by being proactive in the fight against prostate cancer. I know there are many worthy causes raising money this time of year, so our team would really appreciate it if you would consider donating $5, $10, $20 (or more, if you want!) to this cause.

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the US with one in six American men developing the disease and more than 28,000 men dying of the disease every year. Prostate cancer is 90% curable if detected and treated early!

To donate you can either:

1. Click this link https://www.movember.com/us/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink&rego=1773931&country=us and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account

2. If you see me around, feel free to give me a check (payable to the Prostate Cancer Foundation) or cash, and I'll be sure it gets where it needs to go!

3. Write a check payable to the 'Prostate Cancer Foundation', referencing my Registration Number 1773931 and mailing it to:

Prostate Cancer Foundation
Attn: Movember
1250 Fourth St
Santa Monica, CA, 90401

(All donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law)

The money raised by Movember is donated directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation which will use the funds for high-impact research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer.

Thanks so much for your time and consideration! If you know of any one else that might be interested in supporting prostate cancer research, please feel free to pass this along.
