Mustaches For Kids - M4K Blue Ridge

10/02/2026

Grower registration is officially OPEN! 🥸

Grab a few friends, coworkers, or family members and grow together — or take on the challenge solo. Either way, you’ll be part of a month of questionable facial hair, friendly competition, and fundraising for a great cause. 💙

And there’s more to M4K than growing! We’ll have Launch Parties and ’Stache Bashes at local breweries in each of our participating regions, giving Growers a chance to meet up, compare ’staches, and compete for some great prizes along the way.

Ready to grow with us this November? Sign up here: https://myevent.com/m4kblueridge/grower-registration

M4K Rockbridge is heartbroken to share the news of Frank Friedman's passing. Frank was one of our very first mustache growers, back when M4K Rockbridge was just getting started — and his willingness to jump in early, grow that mustache, and rally support helped lay the foundation for everything M4K has become in support of Blue Ridge CASA's mission.
Frank believed in community and showing up for kids who need it most, and that spirit is woven into the roots of this organization. We're so thankful for his early support and the example he set.
The Community Foundation for Rockbridge, Bath, and Alleghany has established the Frank Wilson Friedman Memorial Fund in his honor. Our thoughts are with Melissa, his family, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Grow one for Frank this year. 🥸
Memorial gifts can be sent to the Community Foundation for Rockbridge, Bath, and Alleghany, P.O. Box 20, Lexington, VA 24450 (Attn: Frank Wilson Friedman Memorial Fund)

The Community Foundation for Rockbridge, Bath, and Alleghany is humbled and honored that Frank Friedman's family has chosen to establish the Frank Wilson Friedman Memorial Fund as a lasting tribute to his life.

Frank believed deeply in the power of community, generosity, and service. Through memorial gifts made in his honor, his legacy will continue to strengthen the place he loved and support causes that reflect the values he lived every day.

Those wishing to honor Frank's memory may make a memorial contribution by sending gifts to:

Attn: Frank Wilson Friedman Memorial Fund
Community Foundation for Rockbridge, Bath, and Alleghany
P.O. Box 20
Lexington, VA 24450

Or by using the following link:

Please make checks payable to the Community Foundation and include "Frank Wilson Friedman Memorial Fund" in the memo line.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Melissa, Frank's beloved wife; his children; his extended family; his many friends and colleagues; and everyone whose life was enriched by knowing him.

May the memories you shared bring comfort and peace, and may Frank's legacy continue to inspire acts of kindness and generosity for years to come.

With gratitude for a life well lived and a legacy that will continue in perpetuity.

Tom Selleck is widely credited with popularizing the chevron mustache in the 80’s and today he turns 81! 🥳🥸

💙 Even though M4K has wrapped up, the generosity of our community continues — and we are so grateful.

A heartfelt thank-you to Waynesboro Moose Lodge #1309 for their incredibly generous $1,000 donation in support of Blue Ridge CASA for Children. Contributions like this help ensure that children who have experienced abuse or neglect continue to have a dedicated advocate by their side.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for continuing to support local kids in such a meaningful way. 💙

We were excited to have WHSV - TV 3 join us at the Harrisonburg Stache Bash to help share what M4K is all about.

This segment highlights the heart behind the mustaches: a community coming together to raise funds for local kids who need a consistent, trusted advocate.

A huge thank-you to everyone who grew, donated, or showed up to support this year’s campaign.
We hope to see even more of you next year!

🎥 Watch the story below.
