Every November, men around the world throw away their vanity to grow (or, attempt to grow) a moustache in support of Movember, an annual event created to raise awareness of men's health issues including prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s suicide.
After all, there's nothing quite like a bit of upper lip hair—sparse, spotty or full-on bushy—to stir up a conversation about why it's there, and eventually, how it helps the cause.
The rules are simple. All Mo' Bros, as they're called, start clean shaven on the first of November and let the 'staches grow until month-end. During that time, they fundraise through a dedicated page on the official Movember website and watch the money roll in.
But whether you're growing a mo' or not, there are still plenty of ways to support Movember in Hong Kong. We've listed five ways below where moustaches aren't mandatory:
1. Drink some Mo’Tinis

Date: All November long
Yenn Wong’s Jia Group—including Duddell’s, Rhoda, Mak Mak, 208 Duecento Otto, Potato Head Hong Kong, 22 Ships and many more—are in full support of Movember this year with several initiatives.
The easiest? Order ‘The Espresso Mo’Tini’ at any of Jia Group’s venues and HK$30 will be donated to the Movember Foundation for each cocktail. That’s not all—you’ll also get a complimentary stick-on moustache to selfie with.
Be sure to tag your selfie with @movember and #movemberhk to be in the running to win a double pass to The Whole ‘Mo at Rhoda (see below for more info).
