After Pink October, it's time for Movember! For this occasion, the town hall of Saint-Jean-de-Thouars will be lit up in blue, and an image of the blue ribbon and its mustache, the international symbol of Movember, will be projected onto the church facade.
Movember is an annual international charity event organized by the Movember Foundation Charity. Every year in November, men worldwide are invited to grow a mustache for 30 days to raise public awareness and funds for research into men's health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer, as well as mental health problems often taboo for men.
The name is a portmanteau of 'mo', an abbreviation for mustache in Australian English, and 'November'. Launched in 2003 in Australia, the event has become global and is officially organized in over 20 countries.
