Mustaches for Kids: Hartford Chapter

This Friday, November 18th marks the official start to Hartford’s 4th Annual Mustaches for Kids Growing Campaign!

Once you’ve stopped jumping up and down and cheering out loud from the excitement, read on for a few last minute reminders and logistics. Remember that our fundraising goal for this year is $15,000 and the children of Connecticut Children’s Medical Center are counting on you to once again make this a successful growing season. That means lots of donations, lots of super-awesome mustaches, and lots of fun in the process. To celebrate this historic event, we are kicking off the month with Clean Shave Day today, details as follows:

What: Clean Shave Day

When: Friday, November 18^th, 6:30

Where: The Tavern Downtown, 100 Allyn Street  Hartford

Website: http://www.thetaverndowntown.com/home.html

Growers: if you are attending Clean Shave Day, make sure you are clean shaven before arrival. This means, according to M4K bylaws, zero facial hair on Clean Shave Day. If you are unable to attend in person, you need to do 4 simple things: first, make sure you are registered (see below); second, shave; third, take a photograph of your shaven face and email it to me to post on the website; fourth, with that email, include a personal fundraising goal and either a picture or name of your mustache “role model” for the season. For all growers, start spreading the word today to remind your family, friends, and coworkers why you are growing a mustache for the next month (in four words: “It’s for the kids!”).

Enthusiasts: come out to Pigs Eye and do what you do best. There are millions of mustache follicles that need your support to start sprouting.

Not registered yet? That’s ok, simply register here, send me an email, or come Friday and sign up in person. Some helpful material to get you going can all be found on the m4khartford website, or through these links for the 2011 Growers Kit, Overview, Poster, and Mascot Guide.

See you all tonight. Good growing!
