WHO WE ARE

We Are M4K Omaha

A Ragtag Group of Outlaws, Scoundrels & Ne'er-Do-Wells

Mustaches for Kids Omaha is the local chapter of Mustaches for Kids America, a volunteer-run organization started in Los Angeles in 1999 to do good and have fun by growing mustaches for children's charities.

The concept is simple: get pledges and donations to grow a mustache for one month. All money raised goes to local children's charities. We are a 501(c)(3) organization.

In 2009, the StacheFather — Adam Perez — brought M4K to Omaha. He assembled a group of outlaws and convinced them to grow mustaches for local charities. The rest is history... glorious, hairy history.

“I've never met a man with a mustache that was not good, honest, decent, awesome, good-looking, humble, sexy, wise, and a fantastic dancer.”

— Mark Twain (from “The Book of Stuff Mark Twain Never Said”)
THE PROCESS

How It Works

01

Shave Clean

On April 30th, you shave everything off. Start fresh. A blank canvas for your future masterpiece.

02

Grow a Mustache

Just a mustache. No goatees, beards, soul patches, chin snuggies, jaw poppies, or Egyptian curlers. Mustache only.

03

Raise Money

Rock the stache like a boss. Show that glorious mustache to the world and they'll just give you everything they have.

04

Be Awesome

Attend checkpoints, compete for the Sweetest Stache, and celebrate at Stache Bash. Your life will never be the same.

Ready to Grow?

You can spare four weeks of your life for this. Mustache, charity, and competition infused with meaningless pageantry.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked

Yes, really.

Dump her. It's that simple. First, it's not going to work "long term" if she can't see the beauty of your lip sweater. Second, once you start growing you will have scores of random women sliding into your DMs to get a taste of your cookie duster.

No. Mustaches only. No goatees, fu manchus, beards, punk patches, soul patches, cabbage patches, mutton chops, pork chops, karate chops, chin snuggies, jaw poppies, Egyptian curlers, or anything south of the mouth. Sideburns are allowed but must stay north of the stache.

Yes, several ways in fact. You can support one of the Growers by making a donation. You can come to the checkpoint parties. If you are a girl, there are opportunities to help out at checkpoints and other ways because we are dudes and incapable of doing any of this without you.

Absolutely. Since our first campaign in 2009 we have raised over $9 million for local children's charities. Yes, growing mustaches. At some point it starts to feel legitimate.

We select different local charity partners every year. We look good. They do good. It's a pretty dope combo, brah.

Yes, your donation is 100% tax deductible. Just click on the Donate Now button and make sure to specify which Grower you are supporting.

No, but if you are able to, it makes the entire month much more fun. At the very least you should plan to attend Clean Shave and Stache Bash. If you have never been to Stache Bash, just trust us that your life is incomplete.

Yes, Mr. Spitz. You know that it is. We didn't forget you.
