The weird, the wonderful and sometime colourful will don the faces of NLG Mo Men this Movemeber

MEDIA RELEASE: 19.10.11

NLG Hotel Group prepare for their third year of support for the Movember Foundation with the aim of mobilising their 32 venues across Queensland and New South Wales to raise the much needed funds and awareness around men’s health issues.

Each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in Australia and around the world. Specifically, the Movember Foundation raises vital funds and awareness for prostate cancer and depression in men.

“For NLG venues, Movember adds a quirky element to daily activity, creates the perfect platform for staff/customer engagement, and shows local communities that hotels too, are active in supporting current and important societal issues” said NLG Hotel Group General Manager, Alistair Flower.

Since Movember was introduced into NLG venues back in 2009, the group has raised an impressive $36,295.12 for the Movember Foundation. In 2011, the group are aiming to break $60,000.00 in total funds raised, making NLG Hotel Group one of the single largest donators to the foundation annually.

“Our venues have created a real connection with Movember and I am hearing some real excitement around the group this year in reaching our 2011 targets” continued Alistair.

“The interaction between hotel’s and their local communities is what this is all about. Creating this unity around such an important issue strengthens communities and the hotel’s involvement within their local area” continued Alistair.

This year, NLG Hotel Group will again rally its partners as they strive towards the 2011 fundraising target.

 “Many suppliers have again shown their support this year. Great pride comes with the ability to involve groups that we do business with on a day to day basis for the sole purpose of this wonderful cause. It is instrumental in the strengthening of these great relationships.” Alistair continued.

NLG Hotel Group Venues will be hosting a range of fundraising activities throughout the month of November including, gold coin donations, BBQs, Raffles, Mo Men Parties and more.
