it takes a village





Accomplishing daunting challenges often involves teamwork, and Mustaches for Kids 2009 is no different. Over 40 courageous men have banded together this season to raise funding for public schools. Living legends like the notorious G.A.B.E. as well as legends-in-the-making like Twist-stache, Ahmad the Prince, and Stroud Stache.
We meet once weekly at a watering hole in the Mission District and swap war stories and share successes. A good time and a needed respite from the rigourous schedule of around the clock fundraising. The good news: we've raised over $10,000 for kid's schools so far. The challenge: we are over $10,000 away from our collective goal.
Personally, thanks to the generosity of 35 of you, I've been able to raise over $1,800 and get valuable technology into three classrooms at the amazing elementary school Think College Now (www.thinkcollegenow.org). I'm really excited about that. But, I still need to raise over $1,000 to meet my commitment to the students of Think College Now. So if you can, please consider donating to this amazing cause and forward the educational prospects of a bunch of amazing and deserving kids this holiday season.
My rapidly growing lip mane thanks you profusely!
