This spring, our chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon is raising money in support of Movember, a non-profit that supports men's mental health and prostate and testicular cancer research.

A man dies by suicide once every 43 seconds, and as a fraternity we are committed to helping reverse this trend. Our chapter prides itself on being a community where brothers support one another and making sure that no brother struggles alone. However, not all men are fortunate enough to have such a community. By partnering with Movember we can connect men with the resources they need to combat growing male social isolation, loneliness, and other mental health challenges.

Movember also supports research and global policy initiatives focused on testicular and prostate cancer. This issue is a personal one for us, because we have a brother who has been battling testicular cancer himself. Both prostate and testicular cancer commonly affect young men, with the highest risk of testicular cancer being for men ages 20-34 years old. However, with increased awareness and early prevention measures this is a curable disease that young men can fight.

With your help, we can make sure that none of our fathers, brothers, or sons has to fight the battle against depression, loneliness, prostate or testicular cancer alone.
