Power to the MO

November is the MOst wonderful time of the year. When the air gets cooler (even in Doha), the holidays come around (mostly in America), and facial hair is embraced (all around the world!!!). This Movember has been my most successful Movember season to date. When I moved out to Doha I wasn't sure if my Movember involvement would be able to continue and even remember asking my supervisor last year, "So...ummm...is it ok if I grow a hideous mustache during November?"

This year my Movember partner in crime, Kevin D'Arco, and I wanted to take Movember to the next level here in Doha. It all started with a simple facebook page (like us at Movember Doha), followed by a twitter account (follow us @movemberdoha), and the rest spiraled from there. In the end we got involved with 4 major fund raisers that took place this past weekend:

• Movember Brunch at the W Hotel
• 1st Annual Doha Stache Bash at the Hilton Hotel 
• 10k at the Grand Hyatt
• California Tortialla Movember Lunch

The crown achievement of this bunch was the 1st Annual Stache Bash. With the lovely help of Sheila Dohmann we were able to throw a private event at an outdoor pier of a 5 star hotel fully equipped with a private bar, appetizers, and giveaways. We were able to charge and keep $25 per person at the door and raised a total of $5,500 just from that one night!!! The support has been far great than we ever could have expected and I am very proud of what we have been able to accomplish.

Luckily Movember is not over!!! You still have the chance to donate to the cause and support 100 Mustaches Strong for 2013 as our team is now in the top 25 for fundraising teams in the entire US!!! If you would like to donate to my page visit mobro.co/EvanWitt!!

Thanks for all the support and here's just a few more of the great images from this month!
