Murphy Distributors Supports “Movember” Men’s Health Campaign & Awareness

Hartford, CT, November 14, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The face of Murphy Distributors in Branford is growing more than its business.

Movember is a worldwide movement to promote awareness of men’s cancer.

As part of the movement, Matthew Murphy, owner/founder of Murphy Distributors, a premier wine distribution company located in Branford, CT, is encouraging his employees, staff and customers state-wide to “Shave the Date” and support the Movember movement by growing a mustache for the 30-days of November.

Murphy Distributors is also making a special wine called “Mustache Vineyards” available to retailers to help support the Movember movement in the fight against testicular and prostate cancer.

“The Movember movement tagline is ‘changing the face of men’s health’ and we are proud, as a company to be Mo-Bros and Mo-Sistas. Changing our appearance by growing a mustache for 30 days will aid in changing the understanding and attitudes men have towards their health. The Mo is Movember’s ribbon, it’s the catalyst for change,” Murphy said. “Murphy Distributors prides itself on being a conscientious corporation, and we have an admirable record of involvement and assistance with local charitable organizations. Our goal is to earn, build and maintain a positive relationship of trust in the community, creating a tradition of caring. The wine from Mustache Vineyards is a fun addition we can offer to the Movember movement with very important purpose.”

The Movember Movement began in Melbourne Australia in 2003. As an official global charity, Movember’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of millions of mustaches on men's faces around the world. Through the power of the Mo (slang for mustache), vital funds and awareness are raised to combat prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges.

Mo-Bro’s start the month clean-shaven, then grow and groom their Mo, asking friends and family to donate to their efforts. With their new mustaches, these Mo-Bro’s bring much needed awareness to men’s health issues by prompting conversations wherever they go.

Mo-Sista’s raise funds and encourage the men in their lives to get involved.

The growth of a new mustache prompts a conversation, which in turn generates awareness and educates people on the health issues men face. Awareness and education then prompts people to take action and change behavior, which is changing and saving lives today.

Please ask your local wine retailer if they carry wine from Mustache Vineyards. For information, contact Murphy Distributors at 203.483.3100. Or email them at info@murphydistributors.com, Re: Movember.
