If you’ve never heard of it, Movember is an annual event which encourages people to grow mustaches to help raises funds and awareness for men’s health issues. Last year Le Clown set up a Bloggers for Movember campaign which rallied bloggers to support the cause. It was a huge success, and one that Becca from 25toFly is repeating this year.
I had so much fun with the campaign last year that I told Becca I most definitely wanted to be a part of it this year. Not only do I love supporting charities, but any excuse to grow out my facial hair is aces in my book.
You think this is photoshopped, but it’s not.
I asked Becca if I could do a giveaway on my blog, and she let me run with the idea. Such a benevolent task master that Becca.
First, let’s explain how you can get involved:
- Join the official Bloggers for Movember 2013 team
- Fan the Bloggers For Movember Facebook page
- Donate
- Share Becca’s post via social media
- Grab a badge and put it on your blog
“Jen, you mentioned a giveaway.”
So I did.
I am giving away (10) Sips of Jen and Tonic notebooks because what writer doesn’t need more notebooks?
Note: hand not included in prize package
Giveaway #1
I’ll be donating a notebook to the first five people who donate to the BFM 2013 team. Go to the page, click join, and enter your information. Once you’re in, donate! Just come back here and let me know when you’re done.
Giveaway #2
Because money isn’t everything, I want to raffle off the other 5 notebooks to those who spread the word. There are three ways you can do that:
Twitter. Tweet this post and make sure to add @JandTonic to it so I see it. If you’re stuck on what to write, feel free to use this: “I mustache you a question! Will you help Bloggers for #Movember raise money for men’s health? http://wp.me/p2iUJI-14o #BFM @JandTonic”
Facebook. Share Becca’s post on Facebook, and tag the BFM facebook page.
Blog/reblog. NaBloPoMo people, here is an easy prompt! Blog about the BFM campaign, including links to the BFM 2013 team page. Feeling lazy but want to contribute? Just reblog Becca’s post.
BONUS PRIZE!!!
Want to go above and beyond and make everyone else look badly? I like your style. I’ll be giving away a top secret prize to the person who socially shares the BFM 2013 campaign the most between now and the end of the month. I don’t want to tell you what it is because I want it to be a surprise…also because I don’t know what it’ll be yet. Trust me when I say it’ll be worth it.
Prizes for Giveaway #2 and Bonus Prize will be awarded on December 1st. If you have any other questions, just ask.
Good luck!

WordPress is playing tricks on you!
Regardless, your comment was appreciated…no matter what post they landed on.
Done! Im growing a tache too – with raffish/caddish implications!
OOOOOOH, I’m intrigued. You should post a picture to the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/BloggersForMovember

So, you’d like to contribute to Bloggers for Movember and you’re not sure how? Check out Jen’s post. Plus, she’s giving away stuff. I don’t know about you, but I want some of that swag.
Thanks for reblogging, lady! You’re awesome.
Anytime, Jen!
am i supposed to shave? no, i mean my face.
If you want to shave your pubes into the shape of a mustache, we won’t stop you…
oooooh!
But then you’d have to stand on your head, Rich, because I don’t know too many people that have mustaches above their noses.
easily done
or, invert the picture.

Bloggers for Movember contests have officially begun. OH YEAH!
Prostate love
Hugo was hoping one of the giveaways would be your facial hair.
Will he settle for my stray chin hairs? Got plenty of those.
I was distracted during this post by the fact you have SIPS OF JEN AND TONIC NOTEBOOKS. That is literally the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Yes, moustaches are good too. Charity is excellent. But SIPS OF JEN AND TONIC NOTEBOOKS ARE EVEN BETTER!!!!
Forget about the prostates! Let’s raise money for MORE NOTEBOOKS!
YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
On behalf of my species, Jen, thank you for being so cool and generous.
Of course! Sharing is caring.
i like your stache…i of course am doing my part and growing mine out also! (but then i always am)
I could never compete with the amazingness of your facial hair. I’ve seen it up close and personal, and it’s legit.
I’ll be happy to share Jen. xo
I did tweet and share on facebook. 🙂
Did you tweet? Thanks, didn’t see it, but I’m counting it! You’re awesome for helping out 🙂
I did tweet, but when I tried to add JandTonic it went over in characters. I am not that good at Twitter yet. lol
Oh, that’s okay! Thanks for letting me know so I can count it.

I’m a bit disconnected this year, after a great campaign and experience last year. But there are still several bloggers doing a great job at raising awareness. Here’s one of them.
Thanks, DS! Even when you’ve been disconnected you can still help. Thanks for reblogging and helping BFM out!

Check out this awesome giveaway people. You know you want it!!
A little birdie told me we have another boss prize package coming out this week.
Yep, tomorrow. I think I may have just sent you an email about it.
Jen,
My prostate got so excited when I read this that I have been peeing since then.
Le Clown
I love to excite prostates. It just might be my favorite hobby.
Prostates and Pee both trigger and are triggered by excitement. No?
