The Las Vegas Firefighters donated $3,905 to the Movember Foundation, which raises awareness for men’s health issues and supports projects that fight prostate and testicular cancer. The donation came from proceeds collected from the firefighters’ Movember t-shirt fundraiser held through the month of November.
“We proudly present this check to the Movember Foundation in support of their programs and efforts to raise awareness for men’s health,” said Scott Johnson, president of the Las Vegas Firefighters. “We are grateful for the opportunity to help further the Foundation’s mission and thank those that purchased a shirt to make this donation possible.”
The Movember Foundation is dedicated to combating men’s health issues at every front. Up to 83.8 percent of the foundation’s net income is allocated to men’s health programs. The remaining net income (a minimum of 16.2 percent) goes to fundraising costs, retained funds, and administrative costs. This covers future campaigns to ensure long-term continuity of the organization, a number of fundraising and administrative tasks necessary to run the organization, and large community-awareness programs like Movember.
