Movember declares 2013 the year of men’s health

    ROADTOWN Tortola BVI, January 15th, 2013  --  BVI Movember Charitable Trust has declared 2013 the Year of Men’s Health in a continuing effort to raise awareness for prostate cancer and other men’s health issues.

     

    Last year, the charity raised approximately $22,000 for the cause, thanks to fundraising efforts during the month of Movember when men in the territory grew moustaches for sponsorship which were then judged at a prize giving ceremony at the Jack Daniels End of Movember Party at Nanny Cay.

     

    This year, the Trust plans to extend their efforts throughout the year instead of focusing solely on the month of Movember. In order to broaden the awareness campaign, the Trust is offering to install posters which promote screening and healthy practices in BVI businesses.

     

    “We want men’s health to be discussed year round, with or without moustaches,” said BVI Movember co-founder Scott Hart. BVI Movember committee member Brendan Joyce added, “The most important thing is that we reach the men who are suffering in the territory.”

     

    The posters serve both purposes—they give advice on men’s health and also provide contact information on how men currently suffering from prostate or testicular cancer can receive direct funding from the Trust.

     

    Companies interested in having 11”x17” posters hung in their workplace should contact bvimovember@gmail.com.
