Cardiff University Rugby Club is proud to announce that we’ll once again be raising money this November in support of Movember Foundation — a charity that’s close to the hearts of everyone in our club community. With moustaches grown, challenges tackled and awareness raised, our aim is clear: to make a difference off the rugby field as well as on it.
A Tradition of Giving Back
The club has established a strong fundraising tradition in recent years through our Movember campaigns. For example:
- In one past campaign we raised £13,325, making us the top-fundraising society at the university that year. The Tab
- More recently, we achieved £43,109 while pursuing a target of £30,000. facebook.com+1
- In the 2024 campaign (or near it) we raised approximately £45,979.06 for Movember. The Tab
These figures show how our efforts and ambitions have grown year on year — and we’re ready to take the next step.
What Movember Is All About
The Movember Foundation is a global charity dedicated to men’s health — specifically tackling issues such as mental health & suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. uk.movember.com
As a men’s rugby club, we recognise the importance of mental well-being, physical health and open conversation among young men. That’s why we support Movember’s mission: to change the face of men’s health, one moustache, one move, one moment at a time.
How We’ll Make It Happen
Throughout November, we’ll be rolling out a series of fundraising initiatives — including themed match-days, challenges, community events and socials. Our 3rd Annual “MoBall” is expected to be our biggest event yet, combining fun with fundraising in the spirit of Movember. cardiffuniversityrugby.co.uk+1
Our club motto for the month: “Don’t be tight—donate a pint!” A simple reminder that even a small donation can help save lives. cardiffuniversityrugby.co.uk
Join Us in Making a Difference
We invite everyone in the Cardiff rugby community — players, alumni, supporters, friends and family — to get involved:
- Grow a moustache in support of Movember.
- Donate to our club’s fundraising page.
- Share the campaign on social media to raise awareness.
- Attend one of our fundraising events during the month.
Your support means more than just a number: it helps spark conversations, breaks the silence around men’s health, and funds life-changing research and support services through Movember.
Let’s come together this November and show what the Cardiff Men’s Rugby family can achieve. With your help, we’ll push past last year’s totals and continue building on our tradition of giving back.
