Durabuilt Dudes Raise Over $16000.00 for MOvember

4 weeks ago, 52 members of the Durabuilt Dudes donated the real-estate above their upper lips in the name of Men’s Health and Prostate Cancer Awareness. It resulted in over $16,000.00 raised and the team ranked in the top 150 out of the 30,000 teams participating nationally (at the time of this release).

Based in Edmonton, the employees of Durabuilt Windows & Doors, known as the Durabuilt Dudes were not only busy in the office and plant manufacturing windows and doors but were also proudly growing their moustaches in every shape and design imaginable.

“We discussed participating for a couple of years, but we really wanted to make an impact- and for our first year we’re very happy with what we have accomplished,” says Vice President, Harry Sunner. “We had 52 participants and exceeded our initial fundraising goal substantially. The response from all of our staff, building partners, dealers and suppliers has been exceptional!”

Watch the video, as some of the Durabuilt Dudes have their MO's shaved on the Dan and Jamie morning show on 95.7 Lite FM.
