Check out the interview on CBC Radio this morning by our very own stachers Brett Tackaberry and Trevor Kealey. Trevor’s comparison of mustaches to icebergs is riveting.

Welcome to the 2006 edition of M4K Ottawa! We’re back on the scene with a new site (gracefully adorned by our 2005 champ, “Officer Brohman”) and renewed desire to help out those wonderful little kids that benefit from the hard working folks at the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Canada (Eastern Ontario chapter). For the uneducated, this is the 2nd straight year that a yet-to-be-determined number of grown men will be growing lip rugs over the course of 5 weeks to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. No, this is not a joke.
But we can’t do it without your help! Please consider joining the campaign or making a donation (see our PayPal button on the right).
We look forward to seeing all of you on Clean Shave Day!

Ottawa - Scott Brohman (pictured left) was crowned M4K Ottawa’s 2005 “Sweetest ‘Stache” at a gala event last night. The celebration recognized the accomplishments of 19 grown men who decided to flex their facial follicles to raise money for the Make-a-Wish Foundation, who were presented with a cheque in the amount of $3500. A big thanks goes out to all the growers for their support and a special congratulatory note to “Officer Brohman” for his impeccable performance during the competition. View the photo album and some videos.

Thanks to a very generous donation from the Ottawa Sport and Social Club we’ve just hit our fundraising goal for 2005 of $2000! And we still have a solid 2 weeks of fundraising left before the ’stache bash finale on Friday, December 16th. A big thanks to all those who have supported us in our quest to grow sweet sweet ’staches (and of course to all the growers for actually making these sweet sweet ’staches a reality).

We’re into week 2 and we’ve almost raised $300. Still a long way to go to our goal of $2000, but I’m sure once those ’staches start sprouting to a respectable length the money will start coming in hand over fist (or nose over lip…). To help you growers collect donations we’ve created a downloadable pledge form that you can post in your office, home or local hangout.

The campaign is under way and we’re ecstatic to have 16 growers on board for 2005! Hitting that $2000 target should be a piece of cake. Check back soon for some materials to help you with fundraising, such as information on issuing tax receipts and a downloadable pledge form.

Welcome to Mustaches for Kids: Ottawa chapter! The campaign to harvest those sweet sweet staches is just about to get started. If you’d like to join the fun, send us an email. We welcome growers from all walks of life and do not discriminate against those who are upper-lip-hair-impaired. Obviously this only means that you’ll have little chance of securing the “Sweetest ‘Stache” title when it’s all over. Best of luck to all growers!
