I thought I'd embarrass myself first with my high school prom photo and me with my first mustache (at the time I was so proud to have one at age 16), to start off a month of embarrassing mustache photos of myself....
According to "Awareness Days" It's The Month of the Mustache:
"What is Mustache March?
Mustache March is an annual event where participants grow mustaches throughout the month of March. While it can be a light-hearted challenge between friends, many use it as an opportunity to raise awareness for various causes, from men’s health to charitable fundraising initiatives, making it both fun and meaningful.
When is Mustache March?
As the name suggests, Mustache March takes place throughout the entire month of March. From the first hint of stubble to the full-fledged mustaches by month’s end, March is the time to embrace the ‘stache.
