All Hail the King. Andrew Munch is crowned the Sweetest Stache for 2009.
What a great year! The year is now officially wrapped up- we’ve received the last of the donations, and our final amount raised is higher than reported earlier. Here it is:
Mustaches For Kids’ Ottawa Chapter of 100 growers raised a whopping $32,000 this year for the Make a Wish Eastern Ontario. A boost of more than $12,000 from 2008, the 2009 grand total is thanks to the big efforts of our growers and the gracious donations from so many friends, family, coworkers and supporters! A big congratulations to all!
And what a ‘Stache Bash we had this year! It was our fifth annual Sweetest ‘Stache competition hosted once again by writer/performer Sylvie Hill, and by far our best yet! The crazy fun went down at Hooley’s Pub on Elgin Street on Friday, December 4, with Alex Tribek (Andrew Munch) taking the sash for sweetest ‘Stache for his final performance in the beatbox dance-off.
A house full of every mustaschioed character from the Italian Spiderman, Gepetto and Mark Twain to some of the standards like Magnum, Mario&Luigi and Ron Burgundy.
