It is that time of year again!!! No, not time to figure out what to get your significant other for Valentine’s Day, that has already taken care of…this year, gift the gift of a mustache, for the entire month of February!
We are back again for the Third Annual Mustache Bash: The Winter Olympic Spectacular!!!
We are a group made up largely of area firefighters from Clay Fire, Elkhart, Mishawaka, Notre Dame, Penn Township, South Bend, and other parts of Northern Indiana. In an effort to raise some money and create awareness for a worthy cause last year we had our second annual month long mustache growing contest. We had a total of 128 growers and together we raised a total $5,592.52 to donate to our causes the Hoosier Burn Camp and Safe Kids of St. Joseph County.
We need your help for this year to be bigger and fuzzier than ever!
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 the Firefighter Cancer Support Network.
The growing begins on February 1st and we will finish the month of growing with the Mustache Bash where you come to flaunt your lip sweater. Again this year, we are going to be hosting the Mustache Bash at Corby's Irish Pub in South Bend.
Since we will all be growing nearly the full time of this year’s Winter Olympics, this year will have an Olympic theme. Come dressed as your favorite Olympian, bobsled team, or ice dancer. You get the idea.
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 the Firefighter Cancer Support Network.
You will get a wrist band that will get you free beer at Corby's for a good portion of the night.
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 for the charities.
THE RULES:
Mustaches only!!! No mid-life crisis goatees, soul patches, or George Michaels Beards!!!
We will have a "Shave In" January 31st. It will be at Mitch’s Corner Sports Bar in South Bend (1516 North Ironwood Drive) at 7pm. Come cleanly shaven and celebrate your smooth face with your fellow growers. You can bring your money then, the night of the Bash, or get it to me somehow at Clay Fire Station 1.
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.
What 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 if you can’t make it to the Shave In on the 31st.
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 27 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 particulars, party updates and details, and our progress along the way.
Hold on to the handlebars, it is gonna be a fun ride!!!
