Movember fundraiser PRIZE DRAW 2023! Winners announced!

Here is the list of winners. If you have won, you will be contacted by the relevant company, hopefully within the week. Congrats, and thanks to everyone who donated. We raised just over £10,000!!

Yes, it’s that time of the year again; although I am rather late getting the campaign started, we still have until the 12th of December, so hopefully, together, we can raise a lot of money again this year.

If you’ve never heard of Movember, then let me explain. It is a charity set up initially to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer research and treatment. It now includes testicular cancer and mental health, which is very apt for me.

Prostate cancer took the life of my grandfather and almost took the life of my uncle. Because his dad died from it, he got tested as he was over 45, and it showed he had early signs of it. That was 25 years ago. He wouldn’t be here today if he hadn’t gotten tested. This cancer is very treatable if caught early!

Men and some creative women worldwide grow moustaches to raise awareness of the cause and ask for donations to their fundraising campaigns.

Earlier this year, I was humbled to receive Movember’s lifetime achievement award for raising over £265,000 in the last 16 years. It was only possible with all the people who donated and the companies who donated the prizes!

This year is slightly different as I have two separate prize draws, this one and one for my “One Man Five Cats” YouTube channel. It’s the same campaign, but I am keeping them separate as I am sure someone entering to win the $650 Litter Robot 4 self-cleaning litter box won’t be interested in a FilmConvert Nitrate license!!

Let me explain how it works for you

If you donate £10/ $13 or more to my campaign and then send me the receipt, you get entered into the prize draw. The more times you donate, the greater chance you have of winning. Last year, Justin Clayton entered 33 TIMES and won 5 prizes!!

It’s effortless to enter; follow these steps.

Go to this link which takes you directly to the donation page
This will ask you to put in your donation amount and personal details.
Ensure the amount is at least £10 (roughly $13 or whatever the exchange rate is. You can donate more, of course, but £10 is the minimum to qualify for entry into the prize draw. This is important as I cannot enter you into the prize draw otherwise. Once you have donated, you will get emailed a receipt; please forward that to me at Movember@PhilipBloom.net .
You can enter as many times as possible; repeat step 3. Please email each entry separately, not as multiple attachments, as it makes organising entries much easier for me. Thanks!
It is open to anyone worldwide, not restricted to the UK.
Entry closes at 10pm GMT on the 12th December.
One prize per ticket.
Any import/ duty taxes are the sole responsibility of the prize winners. If you win something you don’t want, please email me ASAP to let us know, and we will do a re-draw later.
The exact live prize draw date will be announced as soon as the entries are organised. It should be before Christmas.
You donate directly to an organisation representing the charities – nothing goes to me. This is not a lottery; this is not gambling; you are helping raise money for Movember by entering into a prize draw for all the gear that many companies have donated.
