AET Group Supports Movember Initiatives For an 8th Year
January 11, 2017
At the beginning of November, AET Mo Bros and Sistas teamed up as the AET Mo-Crew to get the word out and fundraise to change the face of men’s health. For the 8th straight year, AET matched dollar for dollar as teammates grew their mustaches and made moves for the cause. We are proud to announce that after the month-long challenge, we were able to contribute an incredible $4,110 towards the reduction of men’s physical and mental health struggles.
The global initiative which was created to break the silence on a noted men’s health crisis which is taking lives too early funds over 1,200 projects in 21 different countries[1]. Around the world, as prostate and testicular cancer rates are growing exponentially, and three-quarters of suicides are men[2], the Movember campaign pledges to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25% by the year 2030 through the funding of scientific research, advancing medical technologies and treatments, support programs, education and awareness, etc.
To date, AET is proud to say we have raised nearly $20,000 for the Movember campaign and are looking forward to continuing our support next year!
