That's right, I am indeed competing in this year's Osteo-stache competition. Wish me luck, sponsor me if you'd like, and check back to watch the progression.
Students get growing for 3rd annual Osteo-stache
By Rachel Kester, MSII, SGA vice president
Last year's phenomenal mustache competition is back this year! Osteo-stache is a pledge drive/competition to raise money for a worthy cause. Participants are encouraged to
get friends and family to donate money so they can thoroughly embarrass (or immortalize) themselves. It's a chance to be creative and charitable all at once! All proceeds go to Caring Unlimited in Biddeford. Anyone capable of growing facial hair can participate.
The contest began February 2nd. Contestants showed up clean-shaven (or if normally sporting a beard, clean-trimmed) for the pre-competition photo op. They must also show up with a pledge form and at least two pledges amounting to at least $10. Participants then have one month to grow their facial hair as much as testosterone levels will allow and collect more pledges.
Osteo-stache concludes March 2. Contestants will appear with a creatively trimmed beard, costume and theme song that best reflects the creative facial hair stylings at the fashion show. There will be prizes awarded for Best, Bushiest, Funniest, and of course, Creepiest. (Other categories may be added.)
All proceeds will go to 'Caring Unlimited', an organization that works to end domestic violence in York County. This includes providing support and safe haven to women, their children and men whose lives are affected by domestic abuse, in a manner that honors their essential worth, nurtures their inherent strengths and respects their right of self-determination.
Are you going to give us a hint?
