Halfway There!!

The second checkpoint is in the books and our milk mops have raised over $35,000 for Camp CoHoLo!  Chad Ingersoll, Kirk Rohman, Craig Kelley, and Craig Botkin joined the Selleck Society last night and breaking the $1K mark again were Kris Covi (4th Year), Jay Slagle (4th Year), and Shahab Abdessalam (3rd Year).  Shahab stopped by in his scrubs between surgeries to get his Selleck pin.  Yes, it is that important.  If you weren't there to get your picture taken make sure to send in a picture to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

This year we are growing to raise money for Camp CoHoLo, the Children's Cancer Camp of Nebraska!!  Camp CoHoLo (Courage, Hope, and Love) provides a summer camp experience for kids with cancer and blood disorders in the Omaha area.

June 1st - Stache Bash at Slowdown.  Doors open at 5:30, StacheParade starts at 8:30.  This is the big one.  A mustache themed costume party extravaganza.  We will hand out the Stachey Awards, have our Mustache Parade, announce the total raised, and, for most of us, enjoy one last mustachioed evening.  Most mustaches perish after Stache Bash, some of them on the way home in the car.

ABOUT MUSTACHES FOR KIDS OMAHA:  Mustaches for Kids Omaha is a Nebraska non-profit corporation that supports local children's charities by looking great.  How do we do that?  We grow mustaches (you probably should have figured that out from the name).  It's like a walk-a-thon or bowl-a-thon but there is no taxing walk or dangerous balls being thrown about.  In fact, for M4K you do even less than you are doing right now.  All we ask is that you don't do something for 30 days - shave that nose neighbor.  At the end of the 30 days we have a rockin party called Stache Bash in which we crown our mustache contest winners, announce the grand total, and brainstorm reasons to keep our new furry friends over our wives/girlfriends/english teachers' objections.  We have raised over $190,000 in our first three years for local children's charities.  We have started our 2012 campaign so if you want to support us go to the checkpoints or, better yet, give all of your money through the Donate Now button.  All of it.  

We're helping kids one glorious mustache at a time.
