The 2nd Annual Mustache Bash is Here!!!

After a successful event last year we are back again for the Second Annual Mustache Bash!!!

We are a group made up largely of area firefighters from Clay, Harris Twp., Notre Dame, South Bend, and Elkhart.  In an effort to raise some money and create awareness for a worthly cause last year we had a month long mustache growing contest.  We had nearly 50 growers and together we raised $1,500 to dontate to our cause to the Hoosier Burn Camp.

You can check out what when down in the archived posts on the right, and here is the link to the photo album.

In fact, we are even officially endored by The American Mustache Institute!

Well, this year we are back at it, only much bigger and better!!!

We are attempting to get as many growers as we can and raise as much money possible for our charities this year.  They will be the Hoosier Burn Camp again and Safe Kids of St. Joseph County here locally.  

The growing begins on February 1st and we will finish the month of growing again with the Mustache Bash.  This year however, we are going to be hosting the Mustache Bash at Corby's Irish Pub in South Bend.  We are also having Chicago's own The Dirty Rooks playing all night long.  

Here is the official scoop:

THE DETAILS:

There is a $20 entrance fee...

For that $20:

We will be making a generous DONATION to The Hoosier Burn Camp and Safe Kids of St. Joseph County.  

You will get a wrist band that will get you free beer at Corby's for a good portion of the night.

and if your mustache is good (or bad) enough to impress the judges you just might get some very special prizes!  (don't worry there are several categories)

Additionally we will be having a voluntary cover charge at the door, tip boards, and some great raffle prizes all night to raise some additional cash.

THE RULES:

Mustaches only!!!  No mid-life crisis goatees, soul patches, or George Michaels Beards!!!

We will have a "Shave In" February 1st which also happens to be Super Bowl Sunday this year --- that is what I call two birds with one stone!  We are going to do our best to make the rounds and ensure that all participants are cleanly shaven, and then probably meet up at a local drinking establishment.  (details to follow)

THE FINE PRINT:

If you commit....then back out, you must double the entrance fee to buy your way out.  A whopping $40 for charity, as well as the personal shame and public ridicule that you will incur.

If you already have a mustache???  Shave it and start over!  Chances are that it will come thicker, and look twice as sweet.  
 
If you are in, well then send us an email to info@themustachebash.com and tell us so.  We also need a before photo of you cleanly shaven.

On a side note, you might be asking yourself...."I am a girl!! I can't grow a mustache!  Or at least not a good one, so what am I supposed to do at a Mustache Growing Contest?"  Well, please don't take it as a personal insult.  We know that you made it to our site because we know that you like to party, and we are going to need your support for this 28 day long mustache ride!  You should feel honored and we expect to see you at The Mustache Bash.  Additionally we also accept donations for our charities, so you can still pay the $20 for the wristband to drink.

This site is your official home for all things Mustache Bash related.  Please check back regularly for Mustache of the Day posts, party updates and details, and our progress along the way.

Hold on to the handlebars, it is gonna be a fun ride!!!
