JRMC_logoJamestown (CSi) Jamestown Regional Medical Center’s Foundation is focusing on men’s health this month by getting hairy. In the 1st Annual “Grow-vember” event, individuals are able to show their support by growing their mustaches, beards, or other fabulous facial hair for the entire month of November.

At JRMC, the month of November marks the arrival of their newest specialist, urologist Dr. Bates. Grow-vember will help raise awareness for prostate, colon, testicular and other cancers that hit men “below the belt,” while all proceeds from the Grow-vember campaign will support the purchase of the equipment and tools needed to start this brand new service at JRMC. Stache, jars are located at JRMC and around the community, or visit the Foundation website to make a direct, online contribution.

How to participate: begin clean-shaven on November 1st, spread the word and raise funds, then shave it off Monday, November 30th. Be sure to share a “selfie” on the JRMC Facebook page using #growvember as the hashtag. Prizes will be awarded for: best ‘stache, best beard, most creative selfie and largest amount raised.
