About Us
Mustaches for Kids America is what happens when absurdity meets philanthropy. M4K is comprised of chapters in cities across North America of dudes who grow mustaches for 30 days to raise money for local children’s charities.
Sounds awesome right? Since 1999 we have raised over $12,000,000 for local children’s charities and, more importantly, looked damn good doing it.
Each chapter starts completely clean-shaven at the beginning of the month and then, as our mustaches grow, so do the hearts of our friends and families who donate to our mustaches to support a local charity.
Interested in starting an M4K chapter in your town? Just email m4kamerica@gmail.com and we’ll get in touch with you on how to do so. Anybody can do it, and you’d be a daisy if you do.

Here's how it works: Each year, during the four-week Growing Season spanning November and December, Growers sprout sweet, sweet Mustaches. Per Mustaches for Kids bylaws, they shave their faces, except for the mustache, a minimum of one time per week and solicit donations from friends, family, co-workers, and people in the community. Kind of like getting pledges to run a marathon, without the exertion, cramping, or dehydration. Call it a facial hair marathon.
At the end of the Growing Season, the Growers hold a Mustache Competition called the 'Stache Bash, which is a cross between a beauty pageant, dog show, and police line up. During the Competition, Growers, often in Mustache-enhancing costumes, are put through a test of mind, body, and Mustache and allow their facial hair to be evaluated by an independent panel of judges, and one Mustache is declared to be the "Sweetest.."
