Go the Mo!

17 Dec 2008

Like many men across the country, some of the Broadcast Australia team took up the Movember challenge to raises awareness and funds for prostate cancer and depression.

The Broadcast Australia team, aptly named BROADMO AUSTRALIA, spent the month of Movember braving a variety of uncomfortable and itchy situations to grow "stylish" moustaches - some of which were a little less stylish than others. Needless to say the office saw a very different side of some of our team members!

In addition to the funds raised through the growth of the Mo's, the Broadmo Australia team sponsored additional fundraising through an Online Charity Auction, donating redundant laptops for auction. Staff were invited to bid. The auction was a huge success with some great bargains for some lucky bidders and raised nearly $10,000 for the Movember cause.

The money pledged to Movember in Australia is donated to the Movember Foundation which distributes funds to organisations including the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and Beyond Blue, The National Depression Initiative.
