Movember 14, 2013

Day 14 and the Mo’s are loud and proud in the hallways of Lower Canada College. This year’s LCC Stash team, which is comprised of 44 current students, teachers and alum, has raised over $6500 since Movember 1. During the remaining 16 days of this month, the team hopes to surpass the success of last year’s team which finished first in the country raising more money than any other high school in Canada!

As the stashes start to settle in and as the month slowly progresses, donations are coming in more and more quickly. The current team leader for fundraising is Philip Dubrofsky, who has raised an impressive $1,635. For the first time since its launch at LCC, 29 current grade 11 girls have volunteered to be Mo Sistas. The Mo Sistas have volunteered to campaign manage for the boys, raise a minimum of $20 each and most importantly sell the Movember memorabilia which includes Tech Tacts and thin black stash gloves. As a fun bonus, the LCC Stash committee has implemented a new weekly award for the best Stash of the Week. Congratulations to Thomas Boucher-Charest who was this week’s recipient of the award.

At the end of each week, a group photo is taken with all of the Mo Bros and Sistas. Each photo demonstrates a steady improvement of stash growth from the previous week. Looking forward to the remaining 16 days of the month, we can only hope and nonetheless expect great results from such a dedicated group of young men and women who have united in the cause of putting an end to prostate cancer. – Matthew Kaspy ’14 (Student Leader – Movember 2013)
