Ivanhoe Movember Team
04 Dec 2009
A team of eleven Ivanhoe Grammar School Ridgeway Campus male staff members came together at the start of November to form Team Ivanhoe for the annual Movember fundraising campaign.
To raise money for men's health issues each member of the team grew magnificent moustaches to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and depression, and also raise funds for the Movember Foundation. The Mo Bros proved to be extremely popular on campus while they were growing their moustaches and received great support from students and staff.
The Movember campaign first began in 2003 in Melbourne and has since gone on to become a worldwide phenomenon which has raised over $60 million globally for men's health.
The eleven team members who represented Ivanhoe were:
- Mr Barry Upton
- Mr Andrew Fox
- Rev. Chris Carolane
- Mr Marcus Pinnell
- Mr Danny Jordan
- Mr Damien Atkinson-Buck
- Mr Greg Wanless
- Mr Daniel Van Schaik
- Mr Neil Cracknell
- Mr Chris Branigan
- Mr Tony Bonnici.
Together they had a shave off on 1 December to commemorate their achievements. The School congratulates them all on their magnificent efforts in growing a mo for the month of Movember.
