The annual event asks guys to grow a moustache during the month of November to raise awareness about men's health issues, including testicular and prostate cancers.
The campaign which began in Australia has found a lot of love here in the United States, where beard enthusiasts are aplenty.

The rules are simple:

- Spend 30 days to grow out your moustache
- Raise funds for men's health by soliciting donations from friends, family and colleagues
