Can you feel it in the air? Has your upper lip started to tingle, too? That’s right, moustache season (aka Movember) is here! From November 1 – 30, 2022, Elantis is hosting a Movember campaign to raise funds and awareness for men’s health issues, specifically, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.
By growing moustaches, hosting events, or setting personal fitness goals, we’ll join millions of people around the world who are helping men live happier, healthier, and longer lives.
Everything we do at Elantis is motivated by our core values: do the right thing, focus on people, and own the experience. For these reasons, we are participating in this initiative to raise money and awareness for men’s health issues. We do this not only out of compassion for our employees and their loved ones who have been affected, but for all men.
Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average five years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons.
A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. Across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.
Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. The organization funds men’s health projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.
Want to Get Involved?
Join Elantis and take part in Movember. We’ll have fun, do a heap of good, and learn all about men’s health. You can join our team or make a team donation and participate by:
- Growing a moustache to start conversations about men’s health or
- Moving 60 kilometres for the 60 men we lose to suicide each hour, every day across the world.
With the money raised, Movember will fund groundbreaking health projects across mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
Thank you for your support! Stay tuned to our social media channels @elantisinc to see our progress throughout Movember.
