Our Mission
Moustaches for Kids is on a mission to change the way that men perceive charity, service and what it means to give back to our community - One ‘stache at a time.
“Through their innovative fundraising efforts over the last 5 years, Moustaches for Kids has established themselves as a prominent champion for children’s charities within our community. By challenging individuals to rethink traditional methods of philanthropy, Moustaches for Kids is truly changing the landscape of fundraising across Orange County.” - Dr. Ramin Baschshi, President and CEO of Unlimited Possibilities
Moustaches for Kids is a fully volunteer driven and operated 501(c)(3). The work we do for our organization is completely fueled by our passion for change in our local community.

2020…what a year. Well for M4KOC, it was a GREAT year!! Another year growing some majestic moustaches and breaking records. We selected Miracles for Kids as our charity partner and raised $129,775 with 56 growers!
2021? We officially registered our organization as 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization and partnered with Camp Conrad Chinnock during our growing season and raised $129,271 with nearly 100 growers! We expanded our efforts throughout the year and held a Christmas Toy Drive for our friends at Youth Centers of Orange, where we collected nearly $3,500 worth of brand new toys!
