MOVEMBER

Dear Green Wave Hockey Alumni:


East Side hockey alum, J.B. Olson (class of 1990), is organizing a month-long charity drive for "Movember".

Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a mustache-growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health issues.

WHO: We are asking all hockey referees (or any male) to make a donation, solicit donations, and to grow a moustache in the month of November to raise cancer awareness.

WHAT: Hockey people grow out a moustache, to (a) raise money for Men's Cancer Related Causes, (b) raise cancer awareness, and (c) have some fun doing so in the month of November! We are asking you to be "Mo Bro".

WHEN: The month of November has now become "Movember". The NHL has supported this effort, and we are asking any hockey fan to "join the fight" in November 2010:

WHERE: Any one, anywhere can participate. Once registered, each "bro" must start clean-shaven on November 1

• There is to be no joining the "mo" to the sideburns, which would be termed a beard

• There is to be no joining of the "handlebars" to the chin, which would constitute a goatee.

• The only addition to the upper lip mustache is a "soul patch" under the bottom lip.

WHY: Because the hockey community, from the NHL down to PeeWee hockey, has done all types of charity events, "pink" games, different fundraisers to increase community involvement, and now we are asking you to "join the fight". We all know someone who has been affected by cancer. Please help out the fight.

HOW: To participate, ycan register on J.B. Olson's hockey referee training website.

Here is the link to learn how to send doantions (accepting through paypal). The Section 8 Referee Association, thanks to Gary Hadden, has donated $50 already. Don't let a hockey ref show you up:

Note: All proceeds go to the Zebra Foundation, a non-profit run by J.B. Olson. The Zebra Foundation has raised over $8000 over the years to support cancer-related causes, such as "Hockey Fights Cancer", through such events as the "Zebra Golf Open".
