More Milton Mo Bro’s & Colour My Stash

November 9, 2011Mike Cluett

Thanks to Bernadette for letting me know of two more Milton Mo’ Bro’s. As you are aware, I along with many other Canadians and people around the world are donating our muggs to help change the face of men’s health by growing insane mustashes. If you’d like to donate to my Movember campaign, please visit http://mobro.co/MikeCluett.

So far Pat is OK with it, but Im sure as it grows in, that opinion will change. I have also decided to sweeten the deal to see how much more money we can raise.

From now until November 20th, the person with the largest single donation to my Movember campaign can decide what colour I will dye the ‘stash and I will keep it until the end of the month. Please be kind with your colour choices…PLEASE 🙂

Here is my updated list of ‘Mo Bros in Milton.

Mike Cluett (Yours Truly of course.)

As well as…

Keep the Milton Mo’s coming and make sure you make a donation to choose what colour the Cluett ‘stash will be.

Now THIS Is Community Spirit

Three great articles in today’s Milton Canadian Champion.

Thanks to both Angelo from Milton Orthotics , Angelina & Dean and Ken Patterson for their hard work in raising funds for the Milton District Hospital Foundation.

Brother and sister donate sales from lemonade stand

A $100 donation collected through a neighbourhood lemonade stand was recently presented by a young Milton brother and sister to the Milton District Hospital Foundation.

For two weekends in July, Angelina Appleby, 9, and her brother Dean, 5, set up shop in their Hawthorne Village neighbourhood selling lemonade and iced tea to raise funds for the Milton hospital.

“It was their idea from start to finish, we merely helped facilitate it,” said the childrens’ mother Zeena. “We (Zeena and husband Mark) couldn’t be more proud of both of them and all that they have accomplished.”

The donation was accepted by Anne Zujko, the foundation’s development associate.

“It is truly a pleasure to see young people caring so much about their community,” said Zujko.

Helping out the hospital

Milton Orthotic’s Angelo Posteraro, Krystal Xavier and Lisa Walter present a cheque for $2,600 to Anne Zujko of the Milton District Hospital Foundation.

The funds were raised from the business’s summer volleyball tournament.

All shook up… for a good cause

Elvis tribute artist Ken Patterson serenaded 10-year-old Isabella Maturana during Boston Pizza’s recent Elvis tribute night in support of the Milton District Hospital Foundation.

The event, which raised $4,000, features two tribute artists as well as a silent auction.

Movember After One Week

November 7, 2011November 8, 2011Mike Cluett

As you may have noticed, I am taking part in this years Movember movement to help change the face of men’s health in Canada and much to my wife’s shegrin the “Hulk Hogan” stash is taking form quite nicely.

I had sworn off facial hair after it kept going whiter and whiter as time went on, but this is for a good cause. You can donate to my Movember page http://mobro.co/MikeCluett and help raise money for prostate cancer among other things about men’s health.

There are also a number of other Miltonians taking part in this as well so take some time to visit their pages as well.

UPDATE:

It was suggested on the Milton Lifestyle page that once its long enough, to dye the stash blonde, Leaf blue or as Anthony suggested yesterday PURPLE! I’ll update as to THAT contest and maybe we can raise even more money. Stay tuned.

Until then, I’ll continue to grow the prickly stash until Pat tells me to trim it a little.

I’ll be posting the agenda to tonights Community Services Standing Committee meeting a little later. You can tune in by clicking on the WATCH link to the right live tonight at 7pm.
