Sprouting Sweet 'Staches for Charity Since 2007

Welcome to M4K PDX!

This year marks the first annual Mustaches for Kids Growing Season in Portland, and we here at M4K PDX headquarters could not be more pleased. A quirky city overflowing with DIY sensibility and charitable do-gooding, Portland should have been growing mustaches for kids long, long ago. Let's take a look at what we're already working with:



Latte: Stumptown Stache



Oden: Trail Blazing Stache


Hefeweizen: Beer Foam Stache

Tom Potter: Mayoral Stache


As you can see, Portland has a lot of potential. Mustache growing potential. And what better way to put that potential to good use than to raise money for the Oregon chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Here's how it works: The M4K PDX Growers - all those gallant Portlanders who volunteer four weeks of their lives to grow and nurture a sweet 'stache - will cultivate mustaches from approximately Nov 14-Dec 19, 2007. As they grow, we'll meet each week at a local watering hole to check in, offer support, and test each 'stache's beer foam retention. Each Grower will also be armed with key M4K PDX paraphernalia to help get the word out (buttons, business cards, pledge cards, etc.) and garner support from generous and awe-struck friends, family, and onlookers. Every dollar of profit earned from these pledges - and from the Sweetest 'Stache Competition - will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon, an organization that grants wishes to children with life threatening medical conditions.

This site will document the journey of the M4K PDX Growers. We are currently recruiting Growers for the 2007 season - if you think you have what it takes, or just want more information, please contact M4K PDX Headquarters at m4kpdx@gmail.com

Stachely,
Chrissy & Sarah
