What?! I’m confused. Mustaches? For Kids?
Yes. Mustaches for Kids. Admittedly, this is a interesting concept. Below, you will find a collection of information regarding some common curiosities.
Q. Is this a joke?
A. No. Since its inception in 1999, hundreds of Growers across the US & Canada have joined the Mustaches for Kids community, and raised more than $150,000 for children’s charities.
Q. I’m a woman. Can I join?
A. Yep. Mustaches for Kids does not discriminate with regard to gender, age, nationality, Mustache-aptitude, or any imaginable criteria. Anyone can raise money for Off the Street Club. Just remember, not only is the Mustache more than a heart on the face, the Mustache is also more in the heart than on the face.
Q. I want to do it, but I’m scared.
A. Technically, that is not a question. (But we will respond nonetheless.) We firmly believe you should step up to the plate. Overcome those fears and grow that Mustache…for a good cause. Remember, there’s no “I” in “Mustache.” But there is one in “Lip Rug.” And there are five in “I like it. It suits you.”
Q: Growing season’s already underway, how can I help?
A: There are lots of ways to contribute. You can donate. Or, stop by an event to share a pint with the Growers. Even sending your mates to our website would be a great.
Q. How do I respond to friends, colleagues, neighbours, and loved ones if they mock the Mustache and object to my participation?
A. Do what we do. Fix them with a steely gaze and tell them the truth: “It’s for the kids.” Then ask them to make a donation.
Q: I went to see Da Vinci Code…in the theatre. Do you still want my help?
A: Yes, we do. Acts of cinematic distaste do not preclude anyone’s contribution.
Q. Why Mustaches? Why the goofy name?
A. This is not your typical fundraising organisation. We believe in doing good and having a good time doing it. And we like to drink beer.
Q. Are you sure this isn’t a joke?
A. Positive.
Q. Swear?
A. We swear to all that we hold holy that this is not a joke; we need your support. The kids need us!
Q. How do I contact Mustaches for Kids Chicago?
A. As you’ve already discovered, you can find updates at our web site - www.m4kchicago.org. You can email us directly at m4kchicago@gmail.com. Better yet, why not meet us in person at one of our Mustaches for Kids events? Rumour has it, we’re friendly, charming, intelligent, genuine, worldly, handsome, accomplished…and miraculously modest.
