The results from The Karcher Group's Movember Challenge are here
The Karcher Group men folk sprouted their best 'staches for the month of November, known to the participants as Movember, to raise awareness of men’s health issues. They had until Nov. 30 to get them looking their 'stachiest for the office judging. Some TKG Movember participants started November with baby faces and planned to grow in a mustache by the end of the month. The rest have opted to keep their current beards and sculpt a sweet 'stache. Best Mustache went to Nic Lubbers. His prize? Bacon toothpaste, manly tissues and a big magnetic mustache. Worst Mustache went to Sam Sweitzer, and his prize was a retro female workout book and a creepy statue. Worst Mustache Runner Up went to Ben Young (he won last year, too) and his prize was a …

More than half the men in the TKG office are participating in Movember, a movement in which men grow mustaches to raise money and awareness for men's health
Have you guys noticed The Karcher Group office looking particularly … manly this month? We have. The TKG men folk have sprouted 'staches for the month of November, known to the participants as Movember, to raise awareness of men’s health issues (yep, just like Don Guisinger is doing). Some TKG Movember participants started the month off with baby faces and plan to grow in a mustache by the end of the month. The rest have opted to keep their current beards and sculpt a sweet 'stache in time for the office judging and chili cook-off Dec. 1. We stopped by the office at 5590 Lauby Road Suite 8 this week to catch a glimpse of all the facial hair and talk to Nate Closser, web marketing specialist and the lucky guy chosen as competition chairman…
