The UAB Department of Urology, in partnership with the UAB Department of Pathology, recently hosted a Movember Celebration at the UAB Cancer Center. Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness about men’s health issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

Participants enjoyed a night of food, drinks, networking and raffle prizes while discussing how UAB could make a difference in the way health services reach and support men.

The two departments also joined to create a fundraising team, UAB-Movember, with the Movember Foundation, the only multinational charity that aims to raise awareness and funds for research into men’s health issues. The team raised more than $1,000.

If you wish to get involved, it’s not too late! Please consider making a donation to team UAB-Movember by November 30th. Any amount will help change the face of men’s health.
