Movember Wrap Up
After a month of mustache madness, and a week of voting, we officially have our winners!
I think we can all safely say that BJ Spigelmyer(DeSales) and Rob Silsbee(CNU) took this contest to the extremes. Racking in a combined 12,000 votes, these two gentlemen battled endlessly for the past week – with BJ barely grabbing a lead in the past day or so. We’re convinced these two guys enlisted everyone they’ve ever met to give them a vote. BJ was bribing people holiday cards that include cute photos of his son, and I even got a call from a few of Rob’s family members to ensure the voting system could handle the stress that they were inflicting upon it.
Our goal with the SIDEARM Sports Movember Challenge was to increase awareness and funds for the Movember Foundation, which in turn, sponsors LIVESTRONG and The Prostate Cancer Foundation. To say this month was a success would be an understatement – thanks to your mustaches, our team raised $8,259, ranking us the #213 team in the country – averaging us at over $70 for each of the 116 of you that participated. Absolutely amazing! We can’t thank you enough for joining us in this fight! If you or your friends/family still want to make a donation, they certainly can – just have them follow this link: http://mobro.co/SIDEARMSports
And now, without further ado, our winners!
The Winner of the Wimpiest Stache – Greg Eckert (Millersville) - This was a unanimous vote in the office. We’re betting his colleagues call him “babyface” –so we’ve got a box of MiracleGrow, a can of spray hair, and a pair of Groucho Marx glasses on the way!
The Winner of the Burliest Stache – Michael Farrell (Embry-Riddle) - Speaking from experience, I know the blessing/curse of having facial hair growth that’s as dense as the rainforest – so we honor Michael for having the thickest face furniture in our contest. We’ve got a set of hedge clippers coming your way, perhaps they can help you cut through the growth.
The Winner of the Worst Stache – Michael Anderson (NKU) - In the mustache world, there’s a very fine line between “Best Stache” and “Worst Stache” – so we’re proclaiming that Michael and his hilarious signs is the winner of the “Worst” Stache award – we’ve got a trophy for you – and I’m not sure if we can ship a ham sandwich to Kentucky… but next time you’re in Syracuse, lunch is on us!
The Winner of the Best Overall Stache – BJ Spigelmyer (DeSales) and Rob Silsbee(CNU) - These two guys did everything in their power to raise as much awareness as possible, so we couldn’t pick just one winner. We’re officially declaring co-champions for the best stache award – we’re going to break the iPad in half and send you each a piece! Alright, alright… I’m kidding. We’re going to send each of you gentlemen an iPad2 for your heroic efforts in spreading the word about our cause. Congratulations, guys!
All kidding aside, thank you to each and every one of you for participating in this – it’s not easy to convince a group of 100+ guys to make themselves look ridiculous for an entire month, but you all stepped up to the plate and made it possible – proving again that the members of the collegiate athletics industry are the best around. Thank you for coming together with us to kick cancer’s ass!
Best,
Chris
