Ladies and Gentlemen, Family and Friends, and people who barely know me:
Today I am embarking on a journey that will change my life forever. I will be attempting to grow a mustache for the month of October in the name of charity. Yes that’s correct, I am willing to put up with verbal harassment, physical shame and a general creepiness factor toward me simply to help some children in need.
It’s called Mustache 4 Cash. This is a fundraiser that is dedicated to raising money and awareness for “at-risk” youth in the Denver area, and directly benefits The Byrne Urban Scholars, Colorado Youth at Risk, and Escuela de Guadalupe. The event raises money by engaging willing men (Growers) to grow mustaches for the month of October, and ask friends and family for financial support during this amazing journey of transformation. The rules are simple: Start the month bare-faced, then sit back and watch as the wonder of all facial hair creations slowly takes its place on your upper lip.
For those of you that don’t know, I began working for a nonprofit organization in December 2007 called the Philanthropy Fund of America (PFA). PFA is a grant-making organization designed to increase effective giving throughout the United States . All donations for the Mustache 4 Cash will be run through PFA, and then granted out to the recipients listed below. What I ask of you is to help me in this endeavor by paying me to look like an idiot for the month of October. Whether you have $5 or $500, all donations are greatly appreciated and needed. I will send a photo update in about a week or so with instructions on how to donate, and feel free to forward on to others that may be interested in donating too. I realize times are a bit shaky recently, so please don’t feel pressure to participate.
Additionally, I will keep everyone updated on my ridiculousness via my blog listed here:

I have attached a teaser photo with one day worth of growth…I have a long way to go. It should also be noted that mustaches are a perfectly viable fashion statement for millions of men across the country. I, however, am not one of those gents. Let’s just say it should be interesting to see the final result.
Good night and Godspeed!

I cannot wait to see this. I just voted that you should grow a mustache like Snoop Dogg.
I have a special obsession w/ Snoop. Ryan and I once went to TRY and see Snoop Dogg on a SCHOOL NIGHT (shocking I know). But he was super delayed.... and by midnight we decided to leave because again we had to deal w/ teenagers the next day (this must of been my first year when I was super concerned with my energy level. These days I would have just popped in a movie, while sipping Starbucks, enjoying my life). Anyway, we never got to see the D-O-double G. One of life's major disappointments.
