People in the Panama City community are grooming a little less these days, and it's not for insulation from the cold!

They're doing it for Movember!

Nope, that's not a type-o.

The Movember Foundation is working in conjunction with the Prostate Cancer Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) organization, sponsoring Movember. Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a charity event held during November each year.

At the start of Movember guys register a clean shaven face. The Movember participants, known as Mo Bros have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their Mo (Australian slang for mustache).

The purpose is to raise money and awareness along the way for men's health and the fight against prostate cancer.

At the end of the month a celebration will be held at the Hofbrau Bier Garden on November 29th starting at 7 p.m.

The aim of Movember is to make men's health, fun, by putting the Mo back on the face of men, while raising some serious funds for the number one men's health issue, prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the U.S. with 1-in-6 American men developing the disease and more than 28,000 men dying of the disease every year.
