MOVEMBER
This year, the Waikato Chamber of Commerce are taking part in Movember. Movember is an annual event during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.
We are encouraging Waikato Businesses to join us in raising money and awareness. Here's how you can get involved!
WAIKATO BUSINESS MO BRO SHOWDOWN
Waikato Business Mo Bro Showdown is the ultimate Movember challenge where local businesses in the Waikato region compete to grow the most impressive moustaches and raise the most money for a good cause.
Over the course of the month, participants will channel their inner Mo, with each business striving to outdo the others in both facial hair finesse and fundraising. The challenge culminates in a long lunch, where we'll celebrate the efforts and crown the champions of the Best Mo and Most Money Raised. It’s all about camaraderie, a little friendly competition, and making a difference in men's health.
Cast your vote for the 2024 Mo Champion!
