Growing beards aren’t just for sports teams battling for a championship like the Bruins and Red Sox have in recent years.

It's now 'No Shave November.' This is the month where men grow out moustaches, beards, and other forms of facial hair for men’s health awareness. The goal for Movember to "change" the face of men’s health.

Similar to Breast Cancer Awareness in October, Movember focuses on detecting early cancer and treating it on the spot. Another goal is to prevent premature deaths and living a lifestyle that’s healthy.

The charity got its start in Australia, just five guys trying to perfect a mustache. The competition ensued after that, most recently held on October 25th.

You may also find out who can really grow a beard amongst you, that’s part of the greatness with Movember. Look at some of the great beards on google by typing Movember.

Sponsors have always been going along with the cause for the extensive growing of facial hair. The most recent sponsor of Movember is Adidas.

So this November grow a moustache and gain awareness for men's health.
