Thank you to everyone who donated, raised money, and participated in Movember activities! All month, employees grew moustaches and joined in Movember activities to raise awareness for men’s health issues including cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.
We are so happy to say that this year, with a corporate match of $25,000, our fundraisers and Ledcor were able to donate $62,627 to Movember in Canada and the US. The team with the most fundraising this year was the Ledcor Contractors Team, donating just over $17,000 including the match. Second place for team fundraising goes to our team, who together raised $10,300. Individually, Doug Drinkwater from Ledcor Marine raised the most, for the second year in a row, at $7610. Our second highest individual fundraiser is from the Contractors division, and was able to donate $6330, match included.
All participants were great role models, motivators, and team players this year, going above and beyond in their support of the mental and physical health risks men face. Their efforts help not only to bring these issues to light, and encourage others towards more positive, healthy habits, as well, they are raising money that will fund important research, outreach, and educational programs.
All funds raised will be allocated towards supporting prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and fitness programs. Movember is a global movement committed to men living happier, healthier, longer lives.
