Mustaches for Kids

Want to grow a 'stache for a good cause? According to this post from Chicagoist, "Mustaches for Kids is a volunteer-run charity that has raised over $150,000 in the past eight years for various children's groups. Official "growers" volunteer to cultivate their best Earl Hickey mustache in trade for donations of encouragement, fascination, and mockery from family and friends. This year's Chicago Mustaches for Kids group is raising money for the Off the Street Club, Chicago's oldest boys and girls club, a group that provides a safe place for kids to play and learn on the city's west side."
