With 2009 being our first year, we have a lot of fun and donations to make up for that our fellow chapters have been enjoying since 1999.

If you are you reading this, it is likely that you know who we are, what we do and why we do it. However, those of you who came to us by happenstance might be perplexed. Frightened. Trembling. If you find yourself in the second group or would like to re-familiarize yourself with our organization, I invite you to read our FAQ.

Here's the deal! A group of volunteers get together all shave on the same day. These volunteers then grow mustaches for 30 days. During that 30 days we ask for Mustache Sponsors (you!) to donate money for kids. At the end of the 30 days we present a check to a local children's charity. Our surrounding chapters raise an incredible amount of money in our meaningful campaign every year, so we are setting our goals high for our opening year.

So it's all pretty simple: mustache, charity, competition infused with meaningless pageantry. You can spare four weeks of your life for that. So, in the words of our founders, "grow with us."
