Brandon Zeman — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:31:18 +0000

If you’ve noticed a lot more facial hair around Chicago this month, there’s a reason. Men have been growing out their facial hair to raise awareness and funds for prostate and testicular cancer. The Movember (Moustache + November) campaign covers cities across the world and has raised some $47 million dollars thus far.

The event will feature a Bachelor / Bachelorette Auction, celebrity guests, raffle prizes and silent auction including: Chicago Bulls Tickets, Signed Mike Ditka and Marv Levy Footballs, and many more high end items. Attendees will be able to mingle, socialize and network throughout the evening, while helping raise awareness and funding for men’s health and cancer!

When: Thursday, November 19

Time: 8:00pm-12:00am
