Movember invites you to join the cricket community in the biggest test match of them all – to stop men dying too young.
Movember’s mission is to stop men dying young.
But we’re not just any charity. Movember is all about havin’ fun and doin’ good.
And Movember’s cricket community are legends at doing just that.
Anyone can play their part – on and off the field – from junior through to seniors teams.
Turn a regular match into a Movember-themed extravaganza. Deck out your stumps, bats and clubrooms to raise funds and awareness for Movember. While you’re at it, why not change the format to a T20 charity game? And how about a theme like Legends vs Young Guns to get current and past players involved.
Feeling in good form? Or just feeling downright competitive? A great way to raise funds – and motivation – is to pledge to donate a certain amount per run, wicket or catch for the month. Try $2 per run or $5 per wicket.
Throw some snags on the BBQ and have a chat, post-match or after training. Invite club members, family and friends together – with proceeds going to Movember. Encourage donations and let everyone know what your club is doing for men’s health. Let everyone know how to get involved.
A cricket club’s involvement in Movember need not be limited to the pitch. Why not Host a Mo-ment and inspire donations over a trivia night? Throw in a couple of questions about men’s health to keep it fun. And consider raising the stakes with a bingo night or poker night.
Why not put some extra effort into the usual post-match spread and extend the offer to other club members? Give a Movember feel to the proceedings and encourage family and friends to bring in their best bites. Encourage donations – and important conversations about men’s health.
Pledge to take on a physical cricketing challenge. It’s called Mo Your Own Way – and it can be anything you want. Want to take 500 catches at training during the month formerly known as November? 100 runs around the oval this month in full gear? The louder and more outrageous, the better.
It’s during (and sometimes, a bit before and after) the month formerly known as November.
The Movember Cricket Association Challenge is a series of ‘decentralised’ events. That means thousands of cricket enthusiasts and their supporters host matches, series, barbeques, trivia nights, social events and much more, all to raise funds for men's health.
Start by creating your Movember profile, called your Mo Space. You can sign up with the Movember app or online.
Once you're set up, join or start a team. Then join the official Movember Cricket Association Challenge.
