Firefighters to Grow Mustaches for Men's Health

'Movember' raises funds to support programs for prostate and testicular cancer and mental health.

At the beginning of this month, Rainbow Lakes Volunteer Fire Co. of Parsippany Troy Hills District 2 launched its new Facebook page and did something special to celebrate. 

"We are kicking off the opening of our new Facebook page by spreading the word about men's health. We have a Movember page and several members who are going to take the opportunity this month to grow some sweet 'staches," said the department. 

The Movember community raises funds and awareness for men’s health and the money raised supports programs for prostate and testicular cancer and mental health, according to Movember. 

To donate, go to the fire department's Movember page. So far, $75 has been raised.
