South Bay Mo Bros & Movember (reprise)

Our guests this morning are Sandy Goodman, Co-Founder of South Bay Mo Bros and Mark Hedstrom from the Movember Foundation.

Three years ago, Sandy Goodman started the South Bay Mo Bros with co-captain, Lars Viklund, in hopes of bringing the Movember message to our community and painting the town hairy. They scrambled to throw together a golf tournament at PVGC that year, and now it has matured into a fun and successful tournament that will probably raise $50,000 this year.  Last year, they introduced a raffle that local shops can donate to and teammates can help sell.  Sandy believes the raffle will explode this year and be a huge success. 

Mark Hedstrom is the US country director for the Movember Foundation, a global men’s health charity that is raising awarness . The Movember community has raised over $650 million, and has funded almost 1,000 programs in 21 countries. The Movember Foundation’s aim is to have an everlasting impact on men’s health by helping men to live longer, healthier and happier lives. Mark is responsible for setting the strategy and effectively executing Movember’s annual campaign in the United States. This includes overseeing, marketing, public relations, corporate partnerships, business and community engagement, finance and operations. 

This morning, we’re going to discuss where and how the Movember Movement began and what fundraising events the South Bay Mo Bros and their sponsors have planned for the month.
