Finale Drumroll: Will we break $30K?
We have thoroughly been enjoying perusing your stache pics on our Posterous Page, almost as much as watching John Cleese show off his stache in the mid 70′s. Great roll model. Make sure to get your final votes in before midnight on Monday, November 30th. We’ll be selecting one lucky duster to receive the Mad Stache Trophy.
Rally your team together for these final hours. Gettysburg has been a strong contender from the beginning, but I know there are a few other schools out there that want the Mad Stache Trophy BAD. The engraver is standing with pen in hand waiting for our call… Will it be your team?
We’re on the edge of our seats waiting to find out the final score. Can you feel it in the air?
Fourth Quarter: Bring It Home for the 1 in 6
On Thursday, when you are sitting with your families at home… take just one moment to look back at these short few weeks and what you have accomplished. A few young men had an idea, and it struck the heart of a nation. You’ve tackled a disease that claims a man every 19 minutes and declared war.
Having said that, the week is not over. And let’s cut to the chase… if you have a big fat $0 next to your name, this is your chance to step out from the shadows and help your team to victory. Each week, we’ve awarded an individual fundraiser with something cool. This week, we’re offering the entire package: custom Oakleys, a pair of Newton Running shoes AND a free round trip ticket anywhere JetBlue flies… for anyone who raises a minimum of $1000 between Friday, 5pm EST, November 20th and the end of the event.
Anything can happen in the Fourth Quarter. Surprise us. Surprise yourselves.

Embrace the Dirty Duster
Steele Stanwick of UVa Men’s Lacrosse is one of hundreds of talented collegiate lacrosse players who, just one short week ago, used to have a respectable clean shave. Then something strange happened… Steele was struck by the ‘Stache Madness phenomenon that has been hitting young lacrosse players like him nationwide, and now there is nothing we can do for him but sit back and watch it grow.
