Mustaches for Kids - Chicago

Mustache Week in Review

November 28th, 2007

Getting to Know Our Growers

Chicago’s Mustaches for Kids celebrated its first week of hair-raising fund-raising on the evening of Monday, November 26th. Check out our increasingly hirsute Gallery of Growers, and don’t delay in selecting the Mustache you’d like to sponsor. If you don’t have a favorite Grower, come out and find one. Our next Mustache Checkpoint will be at 7pm, Monday, December 3, 2007 at T’s, 5025 N. Clark St. This will be a great opportunity to befriend Growers, and the most generous T’s will give 10% of our food and beverage sales back to Mustaches for Kids! Partake in a “mustache ride” shot and purchase a commemorative Polaroid of the experience (proceeds benefit Off The Street Club).

And now introducing the one week old mustache…

Our Sponsors, Our Friends

Our Growers had an especially thankful Thanksgiving as the past week offered them their first chance to collect donations for Off The Street Club. Key contributors this week included a $250 donation in sponsorship of Sir William Throckmorton’s budding moustache (this generous lady wishes to remain anonymous). Tom Lubin helped Stache Gordon in his dash for the cash with a donation of $151.01. Mike Maher (Orlando, FL) and the Le-Bruno Family (Boston, MA) tied in a Thanksgiving bid for Dandy Lion Fluff’s undying devotion with donations of $50 each. Kathy Maxwell contributed $40 to our resident Captain of Industry. And, Betsy Carnahan, eased Growzer the Growzarian $25 closer to his goal. In addition to sponsoring Mustaches, Betsy enjoys dancing with friends regularly at “Arturo’s” mexican restaurant and road trips down private back-roads in the Appalachian mountains.

A Motivational Moment

To quote, Timothy, founder of Chicago’s Chapter of Mustaches for Kids:

A man’s relationship with his seven-day-old mustache can be delicate. A man’s relationship with a desire to eliminate his seven-day-old mustache simply should not be.

The one week juncture can inflict all manners of unspeakable self-doubt. Growers have been known to lock themselves inside for days. We hope this short inspirational clip will inspire our dear Growers to face the day with pride, this experience is not just for kids, it’s for sheer glory! Love thy mustache…
