Day 19: And she's buying a Mustache to heh-eh-vehn

Dearest Mustache Supporters-

First off, huge thanks to Ryan, Brett, Kate, Tommy, Elise, Douglas, Stephen B and Francis!

We are at $2,185 and counting and have reached over 1,500 students. Amazing.

I feel like the mustache has worked through it's "tween" years and is sort of at it's awkward adolescent phase. If my mustache was me as an adolescent it would have a mullet, pegged Girbaud jeans and a fake diamond earing. It would eat at Taco Bell five days a week. It would drive it's mom's old station wagon.

Please support it through these trying times.

Namastache,

G

Day 15 - My Mustache's on Broadway

Dearest Mustache Supporters-

First off, huge thanks to Tommy Rosen for his very generous donation! I'm at $1,918 and am looking to break $2,000 by the end of the day. Bring it!

Also, I bought English Leather Mustache Wax for everyone in the office. You can check out the product review here.

Seems to be working wonders for the boys at TuneUp. I think it smells like the hand of an old barber.

Here's a shot of me with the wax pre-application:

And, today is shave day, so check out the goods without any of the infiltrating beard growth:


And finally, here is an incredible commercial by a man with an incredible mustache. Oldie but a goodie.

Namastache,

Day 13 - All we are saying, is give Mustache a chance.

Good People-

First off, big thanks to Pesco for his very generous donation. Thanks Pesco!

Because of your generous donations, we have raised $1,567 and have reached 673 children. Incredible.
You have allowed me to keep my honor (if only by a lip hair) as I am in first place and we are on the path to matching last years $ raised.

Also, as a company, TuneUp is in 2nd place overall only trailing the behemoth corporate giant, Bank of America. God, I would love to beat those guys .

OK, so here's the (second) soap box speech. I'll keep it short. As much fun as this is for us to grow our furry little friends and as annoying it may be for you at this point to get all of these updates, the real deal here is that these kids really really need your help.

I am a firm believer that education is the ONLY way out for these childen that are not given the opportunities that most of us were. How are they supposed to do this when they don't have books or science lab materials or any of the other humble requests these teachers are making?

I know times are tough right now. If you don't have a lot to give, give a little. Every bit helps.

Namastache,

G

Day 11. "I love it when you call me Big Mustache"

Good People,

Here's a shot of me applying the daily "growth tonic". Thank goodness there are none of those pesky committees or regulations on such performance enhancement solutions.

Thank you again for all of your generosity! We have currently reached over 300 students in need. We're in first place. Let's keep it up.

Namastache,

G

Oh, and here's a mustache to aspire to. The one, the only, Koko B Ware! Wouldn't want a pile driver from that guy. No sir.





Days 1-10 Blustache Retrofit AKA "Forever Mustache, I wanna be Forever Mustache"

Hey All-

Due to many of your requests, I have created a custom Mustache Blog (Blustache 3, The Notorious M.U.S.T.A.C.H.E) to keep you updated on my mustache growth and to provide all sorts of other engaging and educational information about the culture of Mustache.

So, for those of you that don't know, I am part of an organization called Mustaches for Kids that raises money for underprivileged youth through the sponsorship of mustache growth. This year we have partnered with a group called Donors Choose which allows you to choose exactly which project and school you want to donate to. I am proud to say that thanks entirely to you, I have raised more money than anyone else for the last two years and am looking forward to a three-peat. As such, I need your help.


HUGE THANKS to Ima, Henry, Joshua, Kellie, Elissa, Elizabeth, Teresa, Mike B, LL, Audra, Miguel, Molly, Jane, Gayle, Drew D, RK, Thai Ann, Seiku, Alex, Tim, Ted, Johanna, Ariel, Kara and Erik!

I (kind of) apologize to those of you that have already seen these photos and posts on Facebook and through emails. Persistence is key here.

Namastache,

G
