From Blue Point:
PATCHOGUE, N.Y. (Oct. 23, 2014) — Blue Point Brewing Company is launching a month-long campaign to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer and other men’s health issues through the international Movember movement. During November each year, Movember is responsible for men growing moustaches all over the world. Proudly cultivating their “Mo’s” (slang for moustache), these brave men and their supporters raise vital awareness and money for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives through organized teams and individuals. Blue Point has raised more than $30,000 for the cause over the last couple years.
The “Smooth Start to Movember” kicks off in the brewery tasting room on Nov. 1 from 2-6 p.m. where Mo Bros can join the brew crew for hot towel shaves provided by Long Island Barber Institute, then enjoy moustache party favors, swag and discounted pints for all participants. Jay Wulff from the podcastMasters of None and manager of Beer World will emcee the event.
Prizes that will be awarded at the end-of-the-month finale party on Nov. 29 include a flat screen TV, Blue Point beer and merchandise for the team’s Top Fundraiser, Best Overall Moustache, Miss Movember, and other fun categories. The brewery will also match a percentage of total funds raised by team members.
Mark Burford, Blue Point’s brewmaster and co-founder said, “We’re encouraging everyone from staff to tasting room regulars and folks all over the community to put down their razors, pick up a pint, and join the cause.” Blue Point Brand Manager Curt Potter adds, “Beer drinkers have been using their moustaches to help sop up suds for centuries. This is an opportunity to join the practical with the charitable act of fighting prostate cancer while having a little fun – and let’s face it, looking a little more macho – in the process.”
