It’s Movember, and JP Advertising has been participating in this global movement aimed at raising awareness and funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health. The company recently took on the #jpaMovember Challenge, organized a social event at its premises and helped create a giant human moustache at the Melita FC premises, all in the name of raising awareness about Movember.
On 20th November the company took on the #jpaMovember Challenge, an enjoyable activity aimed at creating the “Best.'Stache. Ever.” JPA’s team helped draw a highly intricate, detailed illustration, designed by one of JPA’s Mo Bros, Glenn Ellul, on a 2-metre long moustache. The team had its timer set, with just a challenging 30 minutes on the clock. A live feed of their work in progress was linked via JPA’s Youtube channel to both the company’s website and Facebook page. Everyone was encouraged to donate money to the international Movember organisation via JPA’s Movember team page at movember.jpadvertising.com or share the live feed on Facebook. For every donation or Facebook share JPA received, extra minutes were added to their 30-minute time frame. The challenge was completed successfully and helped raise a substantial amount of funds.
On 22nd November, JPA also held a fun-filled hot dog party at its premises and invited family and friends over to help raise more funds for Movember. In addition, on the following day, the team collaborated with the Melita Football Club to create a giant human moustache in the football ground. Children and their families were told about Movember and encouraged to give their support to the cause.
#jpaMovember initiatives raised over Eur1,300 and equally important, generated awareness among the Maltese community. Whilst JPA’s Mo Bro’s will be growing back their moustaches in November of next year, seeing your GP is not Movember-bound and you shouldn’t wait until next year to get checked.
JPA thanks everyone who donated and showed their support including, Nestlé, Golden Harvest, Ice- Watch, Nescafé Dolce Gusto Malta, Foster Clark, Heineken, Charles Grech, Benna, Farsons and A&S Signs.
