For more than 20 years, the Movember movement has been raising awareness about men’s health. Growing a moustache in November is now seen as a global symbol for positive change and a catalyst for initiating life-saving conversations.

This year, Deutsche Aircraft is joining the action, hosting company-wide events to promote fundraising and challenging departments to raise money for this worthy cause.

Why Movember Matters at Deutsche Aircraft

At Deutsche Aircraft, our core values of Respect and Collaboration drive everything we do — from building a next-generation regional aircraft to creating a supportive environment for our diverse, international team. Movember gives us a perfect opportunity to put these values into action, emphasising the importance of open conversation and mutual support for the health and wellbeing of our colleagues, friends and families.

More Than a Moustache: The Global Impact of Movember

Movember began in Melbourne, Australia in 2003, when two friends decided to grow moustaches for a month. They invited 30 people to participate and sought donations from friends and family, directing the funds raised towards prostate cancer research.

Today, Movember is a global movement with over 5 million supporters that has funded more than 1,200 men’s health projects across 20 countries. This includes essential research into prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

How to Get Involved

Over the course of November, individuals can support men’s health and become a Mo Bro or Mo Sister by choosing one of these challenges:

• Grow a Mo – Participate by growing a moustache for a month during Movember and collecting donations in person or online.

• Move for Movember – Commit to running or walking 60km over the month. The distance represents the 60 men lost to suicide globally every single hour.

• Host a Mo-Ment or Create Your Own Challenge – Rally friends or colleagues to host an event or invent a unique fundraising challenge.

Movember at Deutsche Aircraft

The Movember campaign at Deutsche Aircraft started strong with a Shave Day in October. Professional mobile barbers were on-site at our hangar in Oberpfaffenhofen to help participants start the 1st of Movember with a clean-shaven face.

• Building Momentum – During October, we distributed flyers, provided tutorials and gave employees access to the Movember fundraising app so they could set up their profiles and begin getting donations.

• Staying Inspired – On 20 November 2025, an official Movember Ambassador will visit our headquarters to lead a seminar on men’s health, sharing compelling stories and empowering our teams to accelerate their fundraising momentum.

• Competing With Heart – Over the month, we encourage departments to compete head-to-head to raise the most funds. The winning individuals and teams will earn prizes and full bragging rights.

• Celebrating Impact – At the end of Movember, we’ll announce the final fundraising tally and showcase our collective achievement at Deutsche Aircraft.
