It’s that time of year again where men grow moustaches (or try to) to (as well as women of course!) fundraise all in aid of for men’s health.
Every November for the past 11 years I have grown a moustache in aid of the global men’s health charity fundraiser Movember. The aim of Movember is to raise money (and awareness) to beat Prostate Cancer, Testicular cancer and men’s mental health issues.
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men and is treatable if caught early, which is part of why this is done – to remind people how important it is to get checked, especially if you have family members who have had it. My grandfather died from prostate cancer, and my Uncle was tested not long after to find that he had it, but because he caught it early he is fine THANKFULLY! I am also now of the age where I have to get regular testing.
This annual fundraising serves to help raise money to tackle these diseases and to remind men TO GET CHECKED, and of course for the loved ones of these men to remind them too!
Over these ten years together we have raised over £215,000!
What I do each year is organise a prize draw giveaway which is full of filmmaking swag, in the past we have had drones, gimbals, cameras, lenses, software, sliders and so much more! If you donate £15 or more to my campaign and then send me the receipt, you get entered into the prize draw. The more donations you make, the greater chance you have of winning! You can enter from anywhere in the world. When you go to the page, just go to the donate section. You don’t join the team, as that is something different.
Here are the instructions to enter the prize draw.
FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS!
1: Simply go to this link which takes you directly to the donation page
2: This will ask you to put in your donation amount and personal details.
3: Make sure the amount is at least £15 (roughly $20 but do check the exchange rate as it is all a bit crazy right now and the total for the minimum is in pounds). You can donate more of course, but £15 is the minimum to qualify entry into the prize draw. PLEASE REMEMBER MINIMUM MUST BE £15 OR YOU CANNOT BE ENTERED INTO THE PRIZE DRAW.
4: You can enter as many times as you want, and as long as each donation is at least £15, you will get another entry for the prize draw. Just make sure you forward me your receipt to Movember@PhilipBloom.net Once you get the auto responder (which asks if you attached receipt) then your receipt has been received. You do not need to send it again.
5: It is open to anyone in the world, not restricted to the UK. If it is asking you for a UK postcode, you have clicked on the wrong link at the start. You have selected to join my team, which you don’t do to donate. Click here to go straight to the donation page.
6: Entry closes on the 10th December at 10pm GMT. This is the official end of fundraising for Movember 2018
7: One prize per ticket.
8: Any import/ duty taxes are the sole responsibility of prize winners. If you win something you don’t want, please email asap to let us know, and we will do a re-draw at a later date.
9: The exact prize draw date will be announced soon but will be around mid December.
10. You are donating directly to an organisation representing the charities – nothing goes to me. This is not a lottery, this is not gambling. You are being thanked by me for helping raise money for Movember by your receipt being entered into a prize draw for all the gear that many companies have donated.
This Years Prizes SO FAR…there will be loads more to add in the coming days !
(If you want to donate a prize please email Sarah at bookings@philipbloom.net) THANK YOU!
