‘Mustache Madness’ to Raise Funds to Battle Prostate Cancer
What is it with these U.Va. lacrosse defensemen? Earlier this week, Max Pomper announced a flag football tournament to benefit the HELP crisis hotline, in honor of his late teammate, Will Barrow.
Yesterday, we received word of “Men’s Lacrosse Moustache Madness,” a competition created by Pomper’s teammate, Ken Clausen, to raise funds for prostate cancer research.
Actually, there are two competitions. In one, the men’s lacrosse team raising the most money by the end of the month will receive the much-coveted “Mad ‘Stache” Trophy (pictured at right). So far, 13 club and varsity teams have registered. There also will be an individual trophy awarded to the person with the “most stylish ’stache.
You can find more details about the competition at www.stashmadness.org.
We’re still not sure what’s happening with the lacrosse team, but it may have something to do with its coach Dom Starsia, who clearly appreciates his team’s efforts, as evidenced by his endorsement for Clausen’s initiative:
“We all have someone in our lives who has been touched by cancer. If growing a “cheesy moustache” can help that cause, I say, ‘put those razors away!’ Although Ken likes the facial hair a little too much already, we are all very proud of his efforts to raise these funds. Part of the college experience is discovering your responsibility to the community of mankind and it is nice to see some college undergraduates acknowledge that relationship. Ken is one of those young men who has become a leader on and off the lacrosse field.”
