Silicon Saxony supports men’s health
As part of Movember, men have been drawing attention to the fact that preventive healthcare is an important, if not life-saving, issue for them too. They show their solidarity under the motto “Grow a mo, save a bro” by growing a mo, a moustache, from November 1 to 30, collecting donations and calling for donations or jogging at least 60 km throughout the month. A campaign that women can also support and which is intended to remind people of the 60 suicides committed by men worldwide every hour.
We think this campaign is worth supporting. Not only because we simply have a lot of men in our network and their health is important to us, but also because mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer concern us all, because After all, we all have brothers, fathers, uncles, husbands and friends.
How our members support Movember
IK Elektronik was delighted to take part and we show the result here: The MOVEMBER BOYS from IK Elektronik in their very own elegant beauty in the special setting of the Schneckenstein mine in Vogtland at our Christmas party with Mettenschicht. The donation of 4 x 50 EUR went to Doctors Without Borders.
With the Movember campaign, we have made a conscious effort to set an important example for men’s health. Topics such as mental health, suicide prevention and prostate and testicular cancer must not remain taboo – they affect us all.
We look forward to your support in November
Grow a beard
Start Movember clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for 30 days. OK, it doesn’t look stunning straight away, but it sends out a strong signal and encourages conversation.
Support us with a donation
Support the Silicon Saxony team and donate an amount between 10 and 50 euros. Our joint donation target is 999 euros. Can we achieve this? We think so!
Move for Movember
Beard, no thanks? Then get into your running shoes. Women and men who jog or run 60 km in November are setting an equally important example and are also doing something good for themselves.
The action alliance behind it
Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health. The organizers know what works for men – and what doesn’t. Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and changing the way health services reach and support men.
