Enter the Mos for Massey contest

“Movemeber” is a campaign that encourages men to grow moustaches during the month of November to help raise awareness for testicular cancer, prostate cancer and mental health issues. VCU Massey Cancer Center invites everyone to join the “Movember” movement and help us raise awareness for men’s cancers by taking part in our “Mos for Massey” contest. “Mos for Massey” encourages people to submit pictures of their (real or fake) moustaches for a chance to win prizes, be recognized on VCU Massey’s social media Websites and help raise awareness for men’s cancers! Please continue reading for contest rules and prizes.
