Many participants grew better moustaches this year than last, says Youri.<\/span><\/p>

This year marks the tenth time that De Raad is participating in <\/span>Movember, the annual campaign focused on research into prostate and <\/span>testicular cancer and tackling the stigma surrounding men\u2019s mental <\/span>health. The events are being organised by seven members of the <\/span>fraternity, led by Movember student ambassador Youri Kuhn, a second-<\/span>year Business Administration student.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, we\u2019re all going all-out to grow an impressive moustache. <\/span>Though I have to admit, I\u2019ll be lucky if I get three hairs\u201d, jokes Youri. \u201cBut <\/span>hey, every millimetre counts for a good cause.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In total, 31 members are actively participating, with everyone at the <\/span>association encouraging family and friends to donate. This year, De <\/span>Raad\u2019s Movember focus is on the taboo surrounding men\u2019s mental health. <\/span>\u201cThat stigma stops many men from sharing their feelings, despite the fact <\/span>that men account for the majority of suicides worldwide\u201d, says Youri.<\/span><\/p>\n

He hopes the campaign will contribute to greater awareness. Funds <\/span>raised will go to research into prostate and testicular cancer, diseases for <\/span>which few treatment options are currently available.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beer and football<\/h2>

Throughout the month, various events will be held. De Raad is organising <\/span>a party night featuring stick-on moustaches and donation challenges <\/span>among members, as well as selling craft beers and gift packs from <\/span>brewery De Snor, with all proceeds going to charity. The three-packs <\/span>include two regular beers in the dispuut\u2019s colours and <\/span>De Kale Snor<\/span>, a <\/span>low-alcohol beer specially made for cancer patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

On 20 November, a charity match will be held with Creators FC, a football <\/span>team featuring Dutch YouTubers, open to all. Donations can be made via <\/span>the Movember website. Last year, the members raised 9,000 euros. With <\/span>a bit of luck, a good moustache, and the collective effort of the <\/span>association, they hope to raise a record 10,000 euros this year and help <\/span>build awareness around Movember \u2013 one moustache at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t
