Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors has raised $31,931 during its 2021 Movember campaign. This year’s campaign, which was dedicated to “Save a Father, Son, Brother & Loved One,” marked Hanley Investment Group’s 11th consecutive year growing a moustache in the month of November to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. The firm has now raised over $300k since 2011.
“Helping to raise funds and awareness for men’s health projects around the world is a great way for us to honor men, like my father, who died too young,” said Hanley Investment Group’s President Ed Hanley. “This is a cause that is very important to me and our company, and I am very grateful to all who supported this effort and donated.”
Movember is the leading charity dedicated to changing the face of men’s health in the U.S. and around the world. During Movember, men start Movember 1st clean-shaven and grow a moustache for the month, getting friends, family and colleagues to donate to their effort.
“We hope that by calling attention to men’s health, we can save lives,” Hanley said. “For example, not everyone experiences symptoms of prostate cancer. A simple blood test measuring a man’s Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) can test for prostate cancer. Early detection is key.”
Hanley continues, “My dad died of prostate cancer in 2009 and I don’t want other families and individuals to have to go through what we did.”
According to Movember, prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the United States. Globally, more than 1.4 million are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. The difference between early detection and late detection can be life and death.
In October, the Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Orange County presented Hanley Investment Group with a SPIRE Award in the category of Philanthropy for the company’s contribution to Movember.
