Organizational Goal Stache Bash 2013 is a fun and engaging moustache-‐social to raise funds for Movember. We aim to promote awareness and understanding in young men and women of the health risks men face, as well as prompt conversation about these issues through our event. As Mo Sistas (supporters of the power of the Mo), our goal is to encourage our guests to not only donate and be active Mo’s, but encourage the men they know to learn more about their health as well. Stache Bash 2013 will be a memorable event for all local Mo’s and Mo’s to come. The fate of the stache is in their hands (and by hands, we mean their face). Objective(s) for the event
To raise a minimum contribution of $1500 for Movember through: Admission ticket sales Raffle ticket sales Mo tee-‐shirt sales (moustache inspired tees donated by Halfwits)
To spread awareness about men’s health issues (and the power of the Mo, of course) through:
Social media promotions leading up to the event Influential guest speakers
To have guest attendance of 100+ To kick-‐off Movember with a bang and get our attendees in the spirit for the month of moustache-‐mania and fundraising ahead
To provide guests with killer prizes, entertainment and memorable moustache fun To gain exposure for Movember and Stache Bash 2013 through new (social/online) and traditional media
To compliment and encourage Mo Bros

Date: November 6, 2013 Reason: Prime season to start your stache. Time: 8:00 p.m. -‐ 12:00 p.m. Reason: No one likes to stache and dash. We have guest speakers, entertainment, and prizes to raffle off, and all the while the drinks will be flowing. Guests are encouraged to stay and mingle afterwards, but it is a week night; Early in, early out and not one moustache misses out! Location: Bar Italia 582 College St.
6000 square foot space; Upstairs area has a capacity of 170 Creative work of award-‐winning architects Giannone & Associates, winning Bar Italia the “Best Bar Design” award from Toronto Life.
Reason: The venue is prime for an evening event since it is also a bar, provides alcohol (which is a staple to our party), has the capacity to hold our desired guest amount, is already sound/AV equipped for our guest speakers and entertainment, provides a fun and upscale environment/decor that caters to our target audience (all of which help us to justify our slightly higher than average admission price of $10). Also, there is enough space for us to set-‐up a raffle table and the venue has agreed to promote the event inside the venue prior.

Event Vision, Theme & Décor Event name: Stache Bash 2013 When envisioning an event for Movember, a relaxed, fun and casual theme comes to mind. A stiff and classy theme does not align with the image of Movember. Stache Bash 2013 is a “bar night with a purpose”. Our event is the kickoff of Movember; an event where men can show off the start of their stache.
Movember is a fun and funny way to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancers. Our theme will capture this through our entertainment and activities (i.e photo section with fake moustaches).
Looking at past Movember themes, checking out Movember websites, noticing the attitudes of the people who participate in Movember and using our own intuition about the charity, we knew that this would be a suitable theme for our event.
The theme easily ties in with our event and all that we will have present that night: music, drinks, photos, prizes, and good casual company.
The bar’s original decor is suitable to our vision; it gives off a relaxed, fun, and casual feel. We will add Movember swag throughout the rooms (posters, fake moustaches) to remind people of the cause.
Audience
Target towards men but women are also welcome (existing and potential Mo Bros and Sistas)
Ages: 21-‐35 Socially responsible/conscientious and informed individuals Young, hip, influential and don’t take themselves too seriously Students and middle income earners Competitive moustache growers and enthusiasts Those aligned with Movember’s target audience: “The road less travelled will be their path and, united under one flag, they will crank up the volume, make some noise, and fight the good fight. Welcome to Movember 2013. Welcome to Gen Mo”.
Invitation List Centennial students and faculty Movember enthusiasts/participants/supporters Media

Critical Path
Food, Beverage, Staffing/Volunteers
Our theme does not entail a sit down meal. Bar Italia will provide appetizers. We will also provide finger foods to ensure all guests will have something to eat
We made sure that there are no traces of peanuts in the food that will be provided by the venue as well as in the food we are providing.
The cash bar will be open all night providing alcoholic and non-‐alcoholic beverages. We will also be promoting a signature Movember cocktail at the event, The Ron Burgundy, which is whiskey, cranberry juice, and ginger ale. This “mo-‐tail” will be $6, expecting that it will be the most popular drink of the night.
There will be regular staff of Bar Italia (for their normal pay), along with our team, working the event.

Publicity Communications and marketing is a large part of Stache Bash 2013. We are very interactive online in order to push our cause, as well as our event to those following us. Our primary message is to raise awareness towards men’s health by promoting motivation for a great cause. Through social media, we want to communicate the real message of starting moustaches and get men and even women to embark on the Movember journey. For publicity we have incorporated non-‐traditional media, traditional media and a social media plan in order to promote our event. Our traditional media plan includes printed materials such as posters and postcards. Posters will be placed around Centennial College and Stache Bash postcards will be handed out to students and staff a week prior to the event. We are posting the posters in various coffee shops and boards around Bar Italia so locals will know about the event. We will be sending out a news release and a social media release in preparation for the event that will hopefully help the event gain more media attention. As well, we have contacted Toronto bloggers in hopes that they will post our event on their websites. So far, the event has been posted on Toronto street and culture websites, The Grid and BlogTO. We may potentially get someone to cover the event. Our invitations are also a major part of our publicity: Cut out stache’s were given to VIP guests and Centennial staff and students. These can be used at the event (for those who are unable to grow a moustache), but they are fun and memorable invites that ultimately represent our cause. To market Stache Bash towards our demographic, we are active on Twitter and Instagram. We believe that these social media platforms are the best way to connect with our guests and potential guest’s as we believe that Twitter and Instagram are the two most used applications by those between the ages of 21-‐35. Social media has allowed us to connect with people in Toronto who have an interest in raising money for Movember as well as connect with Rocco Rossi who will subsequently be speaking at our event. Both the Twitter and Instagram are used to promote the event, showcase various raffle prizes, give information about Movember and men's cancers and offer a humorous approach to moustaches and Movember. The mix of information has allowed the group and the event to gain a strong following.

We have a Facebook event to track invitees and gauge the amount of interest towards this event. Post-‐event we will be creating a photo album on Facebook for our guests to see the photographs that they took throughout the night with their ‘staches. We will thank all of our guests on Facebook and Twitter with a message. We will personally deliver thank you notes to our VIP guests. We will also announce the amount of money that we raised for the charity over Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
