A New Challenge

So, for as long as I can remember I've had a bit of an issue with Fundraising adult pipe bands....

*pause a moment to dodge rotten tomatoes....

Here's why..

Annually major pipe bands all over the world, complete with Doctors, Lawyers, Business owners etc. use public funding and charity bound money to sponsor their activities. Which usually include traveling all over the world competing.....

I completely understand the hard charging fundraising efforts of kids bands.

Now fundraising is an absolute necessity for most bands. So I conclude this mini-rant by saying I tolerate it because it is necessary for the prolongation of our sport.

But I've always thought we could do something useful with our fundraising power. The networking of the pipe band world has the potential to raise big money for worthy causes other than our own.

Enter the SASPB drum corp and our decision to support the now World-wide MOVEMBER efforts.

Each member of the drum corp (male member I should add) will be attempting to grow a mustache in the month of November.

Mustache growing is nothing new for pipe bands. I reference the greasy looks of SFU this season in Scotland, City of Regina's distinguished contest a few years ago, and let's not forget those awesome pictures of... well.... everyone from the 70's...

This instance, however, we can raise some money. Please donate and follow along on our Movember page as we add photos after every Tuesday of everyone's wonderful mustachery.

Simply follow the link: http://ca.movember.com/mospace/1372184/

Please give to this deserving charity and help us raise funds for Cancer research as we try and give back to a world wide community who always supports us.

Cheers
