Mustaches for Kids Ottawa

12 Years of Growing Mustaches and Raising Money for Make-a-Wish

All Hail King Mustache!

December 18th, 2006 by Steve Palmer

The 2006 Mustaches for Kids Ottawa campaign ended on Friday night with the force of a large atom bomb (or more accurately: 30 mustaches, which contains roughly the same amount of raw energy).

A rag-tag bunch of hooligans, our pool of growers this year demonstrated unmatched skills in both ‘stachenicity and fundraisability – the two most important qualities to have when participating in Mustaches for Kids. As you can see on the right, we completely destroyed our fundraising goal of $5000 and as of this moment currently sit at a whopping $7340. I say currently because as I write this we still have donations trickling in from PayPal. Wow. Fantastic work guys!

I wish we could have crowned all 30 growers who competed (and those who couldn’t make it) as the Sweetest ‘Stache of 2006, but unfortunately that would take all the thrill out of seeing 30 mustaches go lip to lip in such fierce competition. All hail this year’s king mustache: young Robert Goulet (aka Mike Hollingworth). Mike just plain beat the pants off everyone else. What can I say? The man has an incredible mustache.

Check out some photos of the event! And if you have some photos of your own add a comment with a link so we can all share in the miracle that was the ‘stache bash.
