FAQs. Mustaches. Charity.

Howdy. We here at M4K PDX Headquarters thought we'd take this opportunity to provide some answers to some key questions that you might be asking yourself right now:

1. The idea sounds cool, but what do I have to do, exactly?
Right now: nothing. Just get psyched and talk up the cause to as many people as possible. Nothing actually 'happens' until Shaving Day, at which time, per Mustache Rules, all Growers will shave their faces clean of any and all facial hair. We'll gather at the first of our weekly Mustache Checkpoints to meet our brothers-in-stache, pick up some pledge sheets and other Mustache materials, and get psyched for four weeks of charity and sweet Mustaches.

2. How does the fundraising thing work?
The typical donor/grower interaction goes something like this:
"Why are you growing a mustache?"
"It's for charity."
"Really?"
"Yup. I'm growing this sweet mustache for four weeks and asking people for
donations. All the money goes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon."
"Can I hug you?"

Donors aren't pledging based on the quality or quantity of the 'stache. The mustache is just a catalyst for getting people to support a good cause.

3. What's the deal with the weekly checkpoints?
Checkpoints are our chance to create a Mustache 'safe space', a supportive environment in which you and your Mustache will be welcomed. M4K is about Mustaches but it's also about community. We can't explain it, but it's just really cool to be in a bar drinking beer with thirty other guys who look as sweet as you. Put another way, if a Mustache grows on a face, but no one's around to see it, does it really exist?

4. I'm in. How do I sign up?
Simple. Show up at the Meet & Greet: Wednesday, November 14, 7:00pm at the B-Side Tavern, 632 E Burnside. You can also shoot us an email m4kpdx@gmail.com to let us know you’re interested and we'll add you to the very official mailing list.

Stachely Yours,
Chrissy & Sarah
