ABOUT M4K TWIN CITIES

Mustaches for Kids Twin Cities is the local chapter of Mustaches for Kids America, a volunteer-run non-profit organization started in Los Angeles in 1999 to do good and have fun by growing Mustaches for children’s charities. The concept is pretty simple, you get pledges/donations to grow a mustache for one month and all that money is donated to local children’s charities selected by the individual chapters.

M4K MISSION

M4KTC goals are simple. Raise money for youth charities in the Twin Cities area, and have fun while doing it. We strive to give back to this community, create opportunities where there is a void, and invest in our youth to ensure they feel connected to the future.

OUR STORY

The year was 2020… a few good people wanted to invest their time and energy to make this world a better place and decided to start here in our beloved home of Minneapolis & St. Paul, otherwise known as the Twin Cities.

Each year, the board of M4KTC selects one Charity Partner for the annual growing campaign. We recruit “growers” who, for 30 days, grow their glorious stache, and raise money from their network. We tally up those funds and unveil our fundraising at the end of the growing season at our main event, Stache Bash!

Stache Bash is a mustache-themed costume party during which we crown the winner of the coveted “Best-in- Stache” and hand out other awards that are cherished by the recipients. So it’s all pretty simple: mustache, charity, and competition infused with meaningless pageantry. You can spare four weeks of your life for that.

In the words of Mark Twain, “I’ve never met a man with a mustache that was not good, honest, decent, awesome, good-looking, humble, sexy, wise, and a fantastic dancer.” (from “The Book of Stuff Mark Twain Never Said”)
