Movember 2012

by

Movember - changing the face of men's health. Knowledge is Power, Moustache is King.

Each November hundreds of thousands of men across the world unite in a brotherhood, sprouting, grooming, trimming and waxing their moustaches to help raise money and change the attitudes relating to men’s health issues.

These Mo Bros are responsible for changing the face of men’s health and each year they help raise millions of dollars for the two biggest health issues that men face - prostate cancer and male mental health.

Since it’s humble beginnings of just 30 Mo Bros in Melbourne in 2003, over 1.9 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas have taken part and to date, Movember has raised over $302 million.  And it’s continuing to grow.

For the fifth year in a row, the staff at Crest took part in Movember and as well as a great assortment of furry facial features on the Mo Bros throughout the month, the Mo Sistas put on a grande finale ‘Movember Morning Tea’ and this year raised over $600.

Guide Dogs Queensland and the “Crest” litter

by

Tucked away, just round the corner from Crest HQ is a very special organisation. Established in 1960, Guide Dogs Queensland has been helping to “equip, empower and educate” blind and vision impaired Queenslanders, of all ages, with a wide range of top-quality orientation and mobility services including, but not limited to, the noble and iconic Guide Dog.

Their services are free of charge to the community but the cost to train a single Guide Dog alone is upwards of $30,000. To show our support of such a valuable and worthy organisation, Crest sponsored a litter of gorgeous puppies earlier this year.

Known as “M Litter” these little balls of fluff have grown into mature and well behaved adolescent dogs who are now embarking on the next step of their extensive training programme.  One of the little guys was even named Crest and we are keenly following his progress along with the rest of the litter as they move through their training.

We will be sure to post updates on the litter’s progress but in the meantime if you would like to know more about Guide Dogs Queensland or would like to see the different ways you can help support them, please do visit their website www.guidedogsqld.com.au.
