Last month McKeil Marine and Gord McNeil, Director of Business Development set out to raise money for prostate cancer by participating in Movember.  Movember challenges men to grow a moustache in order to raise money for prostate cancer and bring awareness to men’s health.

A number of McKeil employees embraced the challenge and grew a nice lip sweater, while everyone else supported them with generous donations.

Gord McNeil who spearheaded the campaign managed to be ranked 42nd overall in Canada out of 120,000 participants in the country.  The McKeil team as whole ended up raising over $9,000 and being ranked 277th, not bad for 6 people. 

McKeil Marine was a major contributor as all employees took advantage of the McKeil Cares program, which matches all donations up to $200. Xstrata Canada Corporation also deserves a big thank you for their extremely charitable donation to “Gordo’s Mo Gang”.

On behalf of Gord McNeil and McKeil Marine, thank you to all for your generous donations and making the first McKeil Movember a great success! The support was unbelievable and we look forward to growing another Moustache yet again next November.
