We had another great turnout at Checkpoint 1, where approximately 20 beautiful new mustaches emerged into the wild! We want to keep the fire alive by taking over Back Bay this Thursday, January 27 at 6:30PM
Where?

We’ve added a new tab to our website called “For Growers” which gives you all sorts of resources to use when explaining M4K to others, talking us up, etc. It even includes ideas you can use for writing emails when you’re looking for donations. We hope this helps make the fundraising process easier and more fun, and if you have other ideas for things that you think would be helpful, just let us know!

This marks the day all volunteer Growers must shave off any pre-existing facial hair before embarking on a month-long journey of questionable grooming and self-discovery.
To mark the occasion, we invite all Growers, potential Growers, friends of Growers, and lovers of facial hair and charity to join us at our first checkpoint location:
THE ASGARD
350 Massachusetts Ave.
Cambridge, MA 02139

(2-3 blocks down from the Central Square T stop)

Mustache growers, enthusiasts, etc.,
Mustache season is right around the corner, and we would love to see all your beautiful, stacheless faces NEXT WEDNESDAY December 15th at 7:30 PM at The 21st Amendment in Boston (address below) for a little meet-and-greet / info session / publicity brainstorm / recruiting event / excuse to get together at a bar.
Thanks to new friends who have embraced the spirit of M4K and just started growing anyway, M4K Boston has already raised nearly $2,000 this year! Being in the black right out of the gate is a huge boon for us, but we have a lot of work to do if we hope to match, or exceed, our awesome $14,000 freshman season. That’s where you all come in.
Growing sweet mustaches and raising lots of money is important – obviously. BUT, helping recruit other growers before the season starts through word of mouth AND publicity helps exponentially. Therefore, we’re asking you all to come meet up next Wednesday night, and to bring anyone you think you might be able to convince to grow with us this year. Our hope is that we can get prospects excited about the charity now, so they’re on board at the start of the season (Clean Shave Day is January 13th – my birthday), and they may even bring additional people into the fold.
In addition, we want to tap into our mustache network to help us with any potential leads on publicity for M4K Boston this year. If anybody has a connection at a newspaper, TV station, radio station, popular bar, widely-read blog, Twitter (whatever that is), or anything else, we want to know and want to leverage these to get the word out. We had about 10 active growers last year, and want to shoot for 25 or 30 this year. It’s going to take some work to do that, but we can definitely make it happen. I mean come on – we’re growing mustaches.
When:
Wednesday, December 17th 7:30 PM
Where:

Friends, family, strangers,
M4K Boston has made a bold move this year – we are breaking with tradition and moving to a Valenstache growing season. That’s right folks, instead of the classic Thanksgiving to Christmas schedule, we will be kicking things off in mid-January and plan to hold our ‘Stache Bash just before V Day.
Tentative dates put Clean Shave Day at January 13th and the Bash at February 10th.
More details to come soon.
