CORONA DEL MAR, CA, Dec.
12, 2016 – Hanley Investment Group Real
Estate Advisors, a nationally-recognized boutique real estate brokerage and
advisory firm specializing in the sale of retail properties, announced today
that the group raised over $35,000 in its annual Movember campaign.
This marks Hanley
Investment Group’s sixth year in a row joining the global movement to raise
awareness and critical funds for men’s health and cancer, by growing a mustache
in November. Hanley Investment Group has raised nearly $157,000 for the
Movember Foundation since 2011.

The men of Hanley
Investment Group started clean shaven on November 1st and for the rest of the
month, these men, known as "Mo’ Bros," groomed and trimmed their
mustaches to effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of
November.
Mo’ Bros, along with Mo’ Sistas at Hanley Investment Group, raised
funds by seeking out sponsorships for the Mo’ Bros’ mustache-growing efforts.
Hanley Investment Group
also sponsored its first annual Cocktails For A Cure fundraising event at the
El Cholo restaurant in Corona del Mar. On November 9, attendees watched the
Hanley team create the perfect pour while they served as the evening’s “Master
Mixologist” (supervised by El Cholo bartenders, of course!). A portion of the
proceeds was donated to Movember.
This year, like previous
years, Hanley Investment Group’s fundraising efforts landed the firm in the top
1%, a ranking of #17 among 11,068 teams nationwide. Hanley Investment Group’s
President Ed Hanley received the
most donations in the company and was ranked #43 out of 74,179 Mo Bros
nationwide.
Company COO Dawn Eisenberg
was the second top donation producer at the firm and was ranked #11 out of
9,422 Mo Sistas nationwide. Proceeds are directed to programs that are run by
Movember and their men’s health partners.
“We are a close group that
enjoys a culture of camaraderie and competition, so it was great to come to
work and show off our mustache progress or, in some cases, the lack thereof due
to being 'follicly challenged,'” said Hanley. “But all kidding aside, we
couldn’t do this without the very generous support of our friends, family and
business colleagues.”
According to the Movember
Foundation, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men in the U.S.
One in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.
“This global fundraising
effort hits very close to home as my father died of prostate cancer in 2009 and
I want to do what I can to prevent this from happening to other men and
families," said Hanley. “Grow a ‘mo,’ save a ‘bro.’ It really does feel
good to make this kind of difference in our community and help save lives.”

Hanley adds, “I am truly
humbled and grateful for all the loving support of everyone who works at Hanley
Investment Group. I couldn’t ask for a better group of people that are
committed 100 percent in all that they do!”
The Movember community has
raised over $710 million and has funded more than 1,200 men’s health projects
in 21 countries to date. This work is helping men live happier, healthier, and
longer lives through investing in these key areas: prostate cancer, testicular
cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.
“We are grateful for
another successful year,” said Hanley. "We are ever mindful of our
blessings both on a professional level as well as a personal level and raising
money and awareness for the Movember Foundation is just one of the many ways we
at Hanley Investment Group like to give back to those in our community."
