Every year, hundreds of Lynchburg guys grow a mustache and ask everyone they know to back it. The money goes to kid-focused charities right here at home.
2026 SeasonKick-Off Registration Night is Wednesday, Nov 4. Stache Bash is Friday, Dec 4.
In 2014, 32 guys grew mustaches for Lynchburg kids. Today, 300+ growers raise money every season for more than 40 local charities. Here's what that looks like.
2014Was our first Growing Season! We're excited to celebrate our 13th Season
300+Growers each season, sacraficing their upper lips and asking you for money
40+Charities, every one serving the kids in the Greater Lynchburg Area
40+ charities. Each serving the kids of Lynchburg.
We don't pick one winner. What we raise each season is shared across more than 40 Lynchburg organizations serving kids: mentoring, foster care, literacy, sports, STEM, and families getting back on their feet.
Like getting pledges for a marathon, minus the cramping and dehydration.
Shave
The season kicks off with a clean shave. Then growers shave everything but the lip at least once a week.
Grow
Four weeks across November and December. Mustache only. No beards, no goatees, no excuses.
Raise
Growers rally friends, family, coworkers and local businesses to back their stache.
Bash
The season ends at the Stache Bash. One mustache is crowned the Sweetest, and the checks go out.
