During this month you'll be seeing a lot of Dads (and Uncles, teenage sons, Buddies) walking around with some additional facial hair!
Movember the month where guys grow a moustache to raise awarness of Men's Prostate Cancer. How does this involve your kids? Well make sure to draw a moustache on them with some eyeliner & take them to Bingemas Funworx Theme Thursday - Movember Day - Thursday November 25th.
Bring your child wearing a moustache to Funworx from 4pm - close, and receive $2.00 off the regular admission rate for the play structure.
Also This FRIDAY NOV 12th myself & Bre Creative will be handing out 50 FREE newspapers at the Tim Horton's at King & Borden in Kitchener from 8:30-9am if you'd like to come & help please message me (only if you're serious & remember it will be cold out)
Otherwise pass by, get a newspaper & HONK to show you support Random Act of Kindness Day (with the Movember team!)
Those2Girls are activily involved as well, head over to our fan page to see what activities you can attend (you'll need a babysitter as these ones are for the those 19 & up) http://www.facebook.com/Those2Girls6DegreesOfUs (psst some of the Moms might want to attend ThoseDamnDivas with us-let us know when you've purchased your ticket so we can get you at our table)
