St. Claude, Manitoba — A small town bodyshop in Manitoba came to play in a big way for Movember this year, raising more than $2,600 in support of men’s health research and warming their upper lips all at once.
In all, St. Claude Autobody, of the eponymous town an hour west of Winnipeg, raised $2,640 for the Movember Foundation, blowing well past their goal of $2,320 and last year’s record of $1,160.
“We’d like to express our appreciation to all of the individuals, families and businesses that donated to our campaign—it really is a great cause,” read a post from the shop’s LinkedIn account, announcing the campaign’s success.
The Movember Foundation supports research for a number of commonly overlooked men’s health issues, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
