We're excited to kick off Movember this year with a fun and meaningful event! As part of the global movement to raise awareness about men's physical and mental health, we're hosting a Mustache Contest to get all team members across the country involved.

Grow It Out: Start growing and show off your creative mustaches through the month of November!

Contest Day: We'll be judging the official Mustache Contest on Thursday, November 21st, so get growing and get creative! Email your photos to socialmedia@gray.com.

Brown & Gold Day: Show solidarity and raise awareness for Movember by wearing brown and gold Wednesday, November 6th.

WHY MOVEMBER MATTERS:

This event is about more than just fun - it's about bringing attention to mean's health issues that often go unspoken. Mental health, suicide prevention, and awareness around cancers affecting men are causes that can't be overlooked.

Together, let's take a stand for the men in our lives and the challenges they face.
