November, that special month when men grow their mustaches, also known as "Movember" or "No-Shave November," and it's meant to raise awareness for cancer and other health related issues that affect men.
This year, CrossFit Napa Valley and The Central City Barber Shop have teamed up in an effort to raise awareness in the Napa Valley.
Have you participated in Movember yet? It starts now and ends at the end of the month, with a celebration to kick off Sat, Nov. 28 at The Central City Barber Shop.
