About m4k Nashville<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mustaches for Kids Nashville is the local chapter of Mustaches for Kids America, a volunteer-run non-profit organization started in Los Angeles in 1999 to do good and have fun by growing Mustaches for children’s charities. The concept is pretty simple, you get pledges\/donations to grow a mustache for one month and all that money is donated to local children’s charities selected by the individual chapters.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the growing season, we have Stache Bash, a mustache-themed costume party during which we crown the winner of the coveted “Sweetest Stache” and hand out other awards that are cherished by the recipients. So it’s all pretty simple: mustache, charity, and competition infused with meaningless pageantry. You can spare four weeks of your life for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the words of Mark Twain, “I’ve never met a man with a mustache that was not good, honest, decent, awesome, good-looking, humble, sexy, wise, and a fantastic dancer.” (from “The Book of Stuff Mark Twain Never Said”)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M4K Nashville is a registered 501(c)3 in the State of Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M4K MISSION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

M4KNSH goals are simple.  Raise money for youth charities in the Nashville area, and have fun while doing it.  We strive to give back to this community, create opportunities where there is a void, and invest in our youth to ensure they feel connected to the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHERE IT ALL STARTED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The year was 2020\u2026.a year we all can say we wish would move on as fast as possible.  But a few good people wanted to invest their time and energy to make this world a better place and decided to start here in our beloved home of Nashville. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 NON-PROFIT PARTNER <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are excited to announce our partnership with Williamson County CASA<\/a> for our 2023 Grow Season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children is a network of nearly 1,000 community-based programs that recruit, train and support citizen-volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in courtrooms and communities. Volunteer advocates\u2014empowered directly by the courts\u2014offer judges the critical information they need to ensure that each child\u2019s rights and needs are being attended to while in foster care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteers help children until they are placed in loving permanent homes. For many abused children, a CASA volunteer is the only constant adult presence in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 2022 Charity Partner was Barefoot Republic Camp & Retreat Center<\/strong><\/a>! At Barefoot, they strive to facilitate Christ-centered  relationships between individuals from diverse racial, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds. After one month of fundraising, we were able to donate $24,000 to their organization, which covers the cost of camp for nearly 100 kids!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
