Stache for cash

Standard process

1. Participants are notified in advance to secure participation and begin growing mustache
2. Some form of marketing materials—generally tshirts or Campaign buttons—are made to distribute before the fundraiser begins.
3. The fundraiser lasts for 1 month
4. Participants wear the campaign button and the mustache, and whenever asked about the button and 'stache, a conversation is started about the cause and participant asks the observer for a small donation

Competition

A competition is generally held for multiple prizes. A photo contest is held for the best beard, the biggest beard, and the best attempt at a beard. Award Certificates are then issued to the winners.

A prize is also sometimes awarded for the participant that raises the most money for the cause. In the case of the Lespwa Worldwide Stache for Cash, an airline ticket to Haiti will be awarded for a construction trip in May 2009 (ARV of $300).

Jamie Dell of Jacksonville, FL held the top spot for the 2009 competition, by single-stache-dly raising over $700 during the month.
