FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution will once again lend its support for Movember’s mission “to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health” when the Revs grow mustaches as part of the charity’s annual November men’s cancer awareness campaign.

As part of MLS WORKS’ Soccer Kicks Cancer’s Movember 2014 campaign, a selection of Revolution players, executives and front office staff, as well as the club’s supporters groups and fans will join MLS WORKS to grow mustaches as members of the club’s Movember team. Friends, family and fans are encouraged to show their support for men’s cancer awareness by donating to the Revolution’s Movember team, or to individuals’ campaigns.

Revolution players Steve Neumann and Alec Sundly have committed to growing mustaches to support Movember’s mission. Additionally, Revolution president Brian Bilello will grow a mustache for Movember, as will many of the club’s male front office staff. The Midnight Riders and Rebellion, the team’s two supporters groups, have also committed to making mustaches de rigueur in November, and general fans are also encouraged to join the Revs’ team.

The Revolution will recognize the highest fundraiser on its Movember team with a special prize, and the Kraft family will match the first $5,000 in donations made to the Revolution’s Movember campaign.

This will be the third year the Revolution participates in Movember. In 2013, the Revolution raised $21,876 for Movember, the sixth-highest fundraising team among North American sports teams. The Revs were raised the third-highest total in the Boston area, and were the top MLS-only team in terms of dollars raised.
