It’s almost May and you know what that means?  Time for the third consecutive Mustache May, also known as Fund-a-Stache.  If you’ve ever wondered what you’d look like with some facial hair (or just don’t feel like shaving for a while) here’s your chance to shine.  All you have to do is set up an online fundraising page for your favorite nonprofit organization and commit to grow a mustache during the month of May. 

My personal favorite technique is to allow people to vote for a ’stache style by donating.  In other words, if someone donates to your page, they have a say in what shape your mustache takes, and which ever style receives the most votes or donations, commit to going with it.  Check out a great example here: the infamous "put your money where the hair above my mouth is" fundraising page.  And when someone asks why you haven’t shaved lately, go ahead and tell them you’re doing it for charity!
