No Shave November

Serious question:  Why isn't Movember more of a thing instead of this thing that isn't even geared around supporting charit-... oh of course.  That's why.  Another thing the rest of the world does better than us.

What? The US actually does better when it comes to charity than all major European welfare states, for instance. See page 11. In terms of donating money, it scores not better but also not worse than most other countries that are ranking really well.

That wasn't really my point.  I was talking about this particular annual event.  In other parts of the world it's a legitimate charity event and limited just to growing mustaches, but here it's apparently just "lol i'm gonna grow a beard lol", or whatever BRTD is referring to.  I'm just curious as to why.

Which countries is this a thing?

Australia, Canada, UK, basically all English-speaking countries but us.
