Tracy POA member Marcio Reis (Member since 2006) took it upon himself to get his community and fellow police officers at the Tracy Police Department involved in a great fundraiser involving the Movember foundation. The Movember foundation is a leading charity changing men’s health. They address some of the biggest health issues faced by men, which are:

  • Prostate cancer
  • Testicular cancer
  • Mental health
  • Suicide prevention

The Movember foundation has strategically found and funded the most innovative research to have both a global and local impact. In the last 15 years, the foundation has funded more than 1,200 men’s health projects around the world. By 2030, the foundations goal is to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%.

The Tracy POA members raised $3,098 and grew out mustaches to support the cause in the month of November. This is the second year in a row that Tracy POA members have participated in the Movember charity fundraising event.

Members of the Tracy POA like Marcio are committed not only to be a great officer for the community of Tracy but to get involved in great causes that make a difference. If you would like to learn more about The Movember Foundation please visit www.us.movember.com
