For the second year in a row, Pringles® is joining leading men’s health charity Movember to drive more open conversations around men’s mental health by expanding support in the U.S.
According to a poll by researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), nearly one in 10 men reported experiencing some form of depression or anxiety, but fewer than half sought treatment.
Thanks to fans who purchased Pringles at Kroger earlier this fall, the brand donated $150,000 to the Movember cause and will continue to drive awareness with the help of their beloved mascot, Mr. P. This month, Mr. P is shaving his iconic moustache, calling men everywhere to join him to kickstart conversation. Whether or not fans have facial hair to shave, they can join the cause by grabbing a can of Pringles, gathering their friends and encouraging open discussion about mental health.
Movember is the leading charity dedicated to changing the face of men’s health in the U.S. and around the world. Best known for its annual Movember fundraising campaign that takes place every November, the charity funds various projects and receives donations year-round. During the campaign month which starts on November 1st, the organization brings communities of colleagues, friends, family, ambassadors, and men and women alike, together for annual Shave Down events–a symbolic action to start clean-shaven and grow a moustache for the month to raise awareness and donate funds toward the men’s health cause concerning prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health & suicide prevention.
