After the pink October movement, which focused on breast cancer prevention, it’s now time for the Movember campaign to get underway. This year, Gillette has announced that it is an exclusive partner in the United States of the event dedicated to raising awareness of prostate cancer.
Since the beginning of the Movember movement, men have been encouraged to shave closely and sport a moustache throughout November. This distinctive sign shows their commitment to the cause.
The Gillette shaving brand is an official partner of the event.
“Through Gillette’s partnership with Movember, we are committed to making a difference by supporting a cause that matters to our consumers,” said Mariana McQuattie, Senior Vice President of Grooming for Gillette North America. “This November and December, when you buy a Gillette product, you can support a great organization that is helping to change the face of men’s health. Did you know that one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer? That’s why we’re focusing our donations on the fight against this disease as part of Movember and encouraging men to put their health first by talking to their GP about screening.”
