Another year and another crazy fun Mogasm. I didn’t think I could top last year’s fundraiser but I was wrong. Thanks to the help of my good friend and excellent event planner, Jocelyn Butler, Mogasm Toronto’s sophomore year set the bar even higher for Movember parties.

This year, Movember’s theme it “country gentleman” and that gave us some interesting ideas that we had no idea would work or not. MogasmTO this year had a nail hammering competition and an arm wrestling tournament. I didn’t honestly think people would go for the arm wrestling on tony old Toronto but I was proven wrong soon enough. Surprisingly, the tournament card was filled up by ladies before any man would venture to sign up for it. Goes to show that Mo Sistas can throw down with the Mo Bros and even show them up! Eventually some gents nutted up and an arm wrestling bonanza ensued. My arm is still sore from my bouts but it’s all for a great cause.

I’m not sure what my favourite part of the night was. Photojunkie‘s great photobooth (the pic above is courtesy of none other than the man himself), the red hot DJ set by Speedboats and Big Explosions, the feats of strength and manliness, the great people who showed, the appearance from the folks at Movember Canada – so much fun was had and it made for a great addition to the Tweetgasm “franchise.”

We’re very proud of all of you who came out int he bitter cold and showed your support for changing the face of men’s health. Canada is making a big difference and has already raised over $23 million to lead the world in Movember support and breaking last year’s record!

Thanks to our sponsors!
