Mustache for Kids


Mustaches for Kids is a non-profit organization sponsored by Sloan Kettering Memorial Hospital. One cold day in February my friends and I gathered in a large facility. In this beautiful, large, facility many people gathered in support of this great, generous organization. We played fun and exciting games, had interesting raffles and ate delicious food. The object of this organization is the men who were showing their excellent support had to grow mustaches from January to February. The men also dressed up in funny costumes. Each costume had to imitate a character with a hairy mustache. They wore costumes such as scary pirates, speedy race car drivers and athletic baseball players. We all had a great night and raised around $35,000 dollars.
