Today I am walking around without my beloved facial hair which has been tenaciously hanging on to my face for the past 5 year. Why would I part ways with such a glorious goat? During the month of May I will be participating in the mustaches for kids(M4K) annual mustache growing event. The good news is I get to grow it back and raise money to send kids with cancer to a special summer camp that I went to as a kid! You can help me raise money for this wonderful cause.
1) By donating what you can, at www.m4k.campcoholo.com. Just use my name!
2) By forwarding this post on to people that may donate or are maybe just mustache fans.
Thank you for your generosity!

Camp CoHoLo:
I have the joined the ranks of M4K because this years charity is so close to my heart. I was a founding camper at Camp CoHoLo and I know how much it means for a child to be able to attend. This time away from the regular routine of a child with cancer is such a great relief and treasure. Please help me raise money to help more kids have this wonderful experience.
Camp CoHoLo was started in 1984 by an Omaha housewife, Maureen Herrick. Maureen’s kind heart recognized that many children with cancer and blood disorders were deprived of the opportunity for a normal summer camp experience. CoHoLo is an acronym for Courage, Hope and Love, the guiding principles behind the formation of Camp CoHoLo. Camp CoHoLo has grown from a three-day event for 22 children in 1985 to an eight-day camp that hosts 160 children. The summer camp is held at the Eastern Nebraska 4-H Center near Gretna. In May 2005, Camp CoHoLo and its volunteers were awarded the Heartland Better Business Bureau Integrity Award for service to children in the region.
What your donation provides for:
$15 -one child’s admission to camp, this fee is waived for most families.
$50 -a half day of fun for one child at camp.
$100 -a full day of fun at Camp CoHoLo.
$400 -full ride for one child to Camp CoHoLo
Mustaches 4 Kids :
Mustaches for Kids (M4K) is a Nebraska non-profit corporation that supports local children's charities by looking great. How do they do that? They grow mustaches (you probably should have figured that out from the name). It's like a walk-a-thon or bowl-a-thon but there is no taxing walk or dangerous balls being thrown about. All they ask is that participants don't do something for 30 days - shave that nose neighbour. M4K Omaha has raised over $190,000 for local children's charities since 2009. This year’s growing cause is Camp CoHoLo.
