Moustache-A-Thon Nears End

826 Boston is nearing the end of its Moustache-a-Thon.* The non-profit, which has seven chapters across the country, gives grade-school kids opportunities to explore creative writing. So far the Moustache-a-Thon has raised over $5000 already as facial hair enthusiasts donate funds to their favorite lip ‘do. Personally, I think David up there is sweeping the floor with the competition, but check out the Boston 826 blog for all the competitors.

The event wraps up on Friday with a live event at PA’s Lounge in Somerville. There will be a moustache runway show, moustache games, and music by the half-Cranstonian Thick Shakes.

(*All seven chapters of 826 do the Moustache-A-Thon; the Boston and Chicago ones put the ‘o’ in moustache, while the Michigan and San Francisco ones don’t. Wordpress, it seems, would prefer that the ‘o’ wasn’t there, since half this post has red underlining under it.)
