Mustaches for Kids is an annual Mustache-growing fundraiser that is held in cities throughout the United States and Canada.

Each year, participants (“Growers”) raise money by growing sweet, sweet Mustaches between Thanksgiving and Christmas. They shave their faces, except for the Mustache, a minimum of one time per week. The Growers solicit donations from friends, family, co-workers, and people in the community.

At the end of the Growing Season, Mustaches for Kids hosts a party, called The Stache Bash, where the facial hair is evaluated by an independent panel of judges, and one Mustache is declared to be the “Sweetest.” Other Growers are recognized for raising the most money…and the worst mustache.Over the past eight years,

Mustaches for Kids has spread across the world, a steady expansion that is not unlike the measured, deliberate growth of a Mustache. Through the years, Mustaches for Kids has enlisted the efforts of thousands of brave Growers who, collectively, have raised nearly one million dollars for charities such as DonorsChoose.org, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, and San Francisco’s Legal Services for Children.

The Atlanta chapter of Mustaches for Kids has chosen to raise money for CURE Childhood Cancer, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. CURE Childhood Cancer is dedicated to conquering childhood cancer through research, education and support of patients and their families.
