AND A SUPER HUGE SHOUT TO SWANKY FRANCO VEGA AND JUSTIN “THE JUDGE” HALLORAN FOR THEIR MONSTROUS DONATIONS!
So much amazing news to share:
- Thanks to you, I raised $12,394! #2 in the entire country!
(Thrilled to take 2nd place to Ahmad’s Princely Stache that raised $18,675!)
- 2,059 children reached!
- $26,000 raised in the final 24 hours to beat New York! Again!
- Music lessons in the Bronx! Naptime rugs in Oakland! Supplies for Autistic children in Detroit! Dictionaries in San Francisco!
Seriously tearing up as I type this. So fucking cool. You guys made a serious difference in these kids’ lives.
The Stache Bash went off without a hitch. This year I was asked to be a judge and graciously accepted the role decked in my finest threads including a newly acquired fuschia ascot. Think that will be an ongoing accesory.
Hilarity and antics ensued as the night progressed and by the end it was downright dirty. Mustache haikus, beer foam retention tests, acts of mustache strength, kissing contests, power lifters, cowboys, joggers from the 70s, Yanni impersonators. True insanity and all for a great cause!
Here’s a great article describing the event: http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2009/12/last_night_mustache_bash_at_th.php/
So there you have it folks. Thank you again for all of your support and for tolerating my brow beating over the course of another holiday season. Here’s to you and your loved ones having a healthy and happy new year.
Nothing but Love,
G
