Cox Enterprises Raises Nearly $2 Million for the Movember Foundation in Support of Men's Health

ATLANTA, Dec. 19, 2014 /3BL Media/ --Cox Enterprisesdonated more than $1.7 million to theMovember基金会in support of men's health initiatives. The Cox Movember Network, which includes more than 1,600 employees, vendors, partners and friends, raised $885,000 that was matched by the James M. Cox Foundation. Cox Enterprises is Movember's Top Global Network and the Largest Global Corporate Contributor to Movember's 2014 campaign.

考克斯企业总裁兼首席执行官约翰·戴尔（John Dyer）说：“我们的董事长吉姆·肯尼迪（Jim Kennedy）今年早些时候被诊断出患有前列腺癌。”“虽然吉姆的预后很好，但它带来了教育和资金支持男子健康的需求。。”

Movember基金会是致力于改变男性健康的全球领先组织。为了表达支持，男人（称为Mo Bros），在11月30天内养育胡须并筹集资金，鼓励朋友和家人捐款为他们的胡须不断增加的努力。这些名为Mo Sistas的妇女通过支持Mo Bro或成立自己的团队来帮助筹集资金。捐赠的所有资金均针对男性健康问题，特别是前列腺癌，睾丸癌和心理健康。

"If we can prevent just one person from having to go through what I have experienced, through awareness or medical treatment, I knew the Movember campaign would be worth it," said Cox Enterprises ChairmanJim Kennedy. "I have never seen a better example of the uniqueness of the Cox corporate culture than the way everyone rallied around the Movember campaign. I have been deeply touched by their outpouring of encouragement and support."

Jamie Kennedy, Cox Enterprises board member and Jim Kennedy's son, initiated the company's involvement and served as Cox's primary Mo Bro. Cox is a first time participant in Movember and initially had a fundraising goal of $250,000, which was surpassed during the first few days of the campaign. Employees and company partners across the nation rallied behind the cause, grew moustaches and spread the word about men's health. "Get Moving" events were held to encourage healthy lifestyles among employees, and Cox's media properties covered the topic to raise awareness among viewers and readers.

"We are honored and humbled at the incredible commitment and level of participation we saw from Cox Enterprises," said Mark Hedstrom, U.S. Country Director for the Movember Foundation. "They fully embraced the Movember campaign that seeks to have an everlasting impact on the face of men's health."

Since 2003, the Movember community of nearly five million men and women has raised more than $600 million and funded more than 800programs在21个国家 /地区。这项工作正在挽救并改善受到前列腺癌，睾丸癌和心理健康影响的男性的生活。
