Mustaches4Kids Nashville

Our elite squad of Growers kicked off 2025 with our first meet-up, proving that great things start small—just like our mustaches in Week 1. Big ideas, bigger ambitions, and, for now, just a little bit of stubble were on the agenda. Special shoutout to Central BBQ for hosting us and serving up the best brisket in town. If growing a mustache isn’t in your skill set, at least you can grow your appreciation for good BBQ.

Hey M4K Nashville Mustache Masters! Tomorrow’s the big day for our very first 2025 Grower Meet-Up! Whether you’re a seasoned Grower, a curious newbie, or just someone who loves a good cause (and some BBQ), we’d love to see you there. Let’s start 2025 off right!

Join us for our first Grower meetup of 2025 on Tuesday, 2/18, at Central BBQ in Nashville! ???? ?? Do you need a mustache to attend? Nope. ?? Do you have to commit to growing this year? Also nope. ?? Can you just show up, eat some BBQ, and hang with some great people? Absolutely. We’re gathering Growers, Charity Partners, and potential sponsors to talk about what’s in store for 2025. Bring your ideas, bring a friend, or just bring an appetite. Let’s eat, catch up, and brainstorm ways to make this year our biggest yet! Whether you’re a seasoned Grower, a curious newbie, or just someone who loves a good cause (and some BBQ), we’d love to see you there. Let’s start 2025 off right!

?? 2024 Growers and Non-Profit Partners: The BIG Check Moment is Here! ?? We’ve been working behind the scenes (and burning off those Thanksgiving calories) to wrap up our 2024 Grow Season and maximize the giving to this year’s incredible non-profit partners. The results are in, and it’s almost time to deliver some seriously BIG checks—both literally and figuratively. ?? Check Delivery Details ? Date: 12/17 ? Time: 10AM ? Location: 1716 Rosa L Parks Blvd., Nashville, TN 37208 All three of our awesome non-profit partners will be there to accept their BIG checks (and the actual ones they can cash). This is your chance to celebrate, snap a pic, and bask in the glory of all your hard work! ?? ?? Pro Tip: If you’re coming, don’t forget to share and tag us on socials. It’s not every day you get to stand next to a check taller than your 6th-grade self. See you next week!

?? What a night at Stache Bash! ?? We are thrilled to announce that as of 5 PM yesterday, M4K Nashville raised $45,103 during this Grow Season—our BIGGEST year yet! ????

??Flash Match Madness Recap!?? A big shoutout to our friends at Scott Cares, the philanthropic arm of Scott Insurance, for turbocharging our Grow Season with yesterday’s Flash Match! A total of nine Growers snagged matching donations, proving that even the smallest mustache can make a BIG impact. Leading the pack in style was none other than Tory Rice, aka “Careless Whiskers” and our reigning 2023 Most Fundraisingest champion! Tory maximized the match with $250 of his impressive $350-ish haul today. ?? Is he unstoppable? Only time will tell. Close on his tail was Patrick Kapla, aka “Goose”, who honked his way to $235 of his $345 in donations. Keep flying, Goose—you’re in the danger zone! The competition is fierce, and the mustache magic is real, folks! Here’s where our top Growers stand after today’s fundraising face-off: 1?? Mike Simmons (Mustache Mike) - $1,525 The reigning king of the cash stash is keeping his crown… for now. Who’s coming for him? 2?? Dwight Johnson (Whiskers N Gravy) - $1,515 Just $10 behind Mike, Dwight is serving up a serious challenge. Can he gravy-slide into first place tomorrow? 3?? Thomas Frohmiller (Nashville Hot Stache) - $1,100 Thomas is bringing the heat with his hot fundraising streak. Will he turn up the spice? 4?? Adam Willingham (Howie Dewitt) - $795 Adam’s climbing fast, but does he dewitt have what it takes to crack the top 3? 5?? Chase Harper (Three-Whisker Tears) - $782 Chase might have three whiskers, but he’s chasing the competition hard. Watch out, folks! We’re just getting started, Growers! Keep growing, keep fundraising, and let’s see who shakes up the leaderboard next.
