The Movember Foundation Reveals U.S. Corporate Partners For 2016 Movember Campaign - The World's Biggest Movement For Men's Health

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Kicking off the 2016 Movember Campaign, 18 brands have partnered with The Movember Foundation to help the Foundation have an everlasting impact on the face of men's health.

The support of partnerships continues to help drive the Movember Foundation's success by increasing visibility of the cause, raising critical funds through internal participation and marketing efforts, and creating remarkable experiences for the Movember community.

"We are thrilled to announce an all-star line-up of partner brands for this Movember. Their support is truly invaluable, and allows us to educate more people about the importance of men's health," said Erica Graham, Head of US Partnerships at the Movember Foundation. "Our 2016 partners share our vision for changing the face of men's health, and by working together we can help stop men dying too young."
