For No Shave November, we are raising money to benefit ZERO-The End of Prostate Cancer. We've had family members and close friends that have been affected by the disease, and once we learned more about the disease, and wanted to make a difference - no matter how big or small.

One in nine American men will have prostate cancer during his lifetime. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American men and is the most commonly diagnosed. The American Cancer Society estimates in its Cancer Facts & Figures 2019 report that 174,650 men will be told they have prostate cancer in 2019. Currently there are nearly 3.1 million American men living with the disease – roughly equal to the population of Chicago.

Want to join me in making a difference? Donations of any size would be much appreciated!

More information about ZERO-The End of Prostate Cancer: Our mission is to end prostate cancer by protecting federal research dollars and directly funding the most promising prostate cancer research. ZERO will stop the pain and suffering of the disease by educating men and their families, encouraging action, and providing direct financial support to patients. Our goal is to create Generation ZERO, the first generation of men free from prostate cancer.

Here we are clean shaven, more pictures to come!

"We carry your heart, we carry it in our hearts."

On April 23, 2018, while the early morning stars shined brightly, the spirit of William James Reilly (63) quietly slipped away. Bill’s long and courageous fight with prostate cancer ended as he wished, peacefully, with the love of his life Michele, daughters Jacquelyn and Jennifer, son Sean and sister Beth, by his side. As Bill's unequaled zest for life and pure love for all was so cherished by family and friends, his greatest joy in life was the family he and Michele created together over their 39 years of marriage.

His legacy will carry on through his children Jacquelyn (Joe), Jennifer (Casey) and son Sean (Bryan) and grandchildren Hudson, Sydney and Penelope. While Bill joins his parents Jim and Betty Reilly in eternal peace, he is survived by his siblings Terry (Wayne), Tom (Judy), Beth (Pete), Jim and Kathleen (Gary) and his brother in laws John (Patty) and Eddie (Jean). Bill was blessed with many nieces, nephews and cousins who enjoyed his humor, game mastering and ability to make everyone laugh. For Bill it wasn’t about the years in his life but the life in his years.

Services will be held on Friday, May 4th, 2018 at 11:00 am, Holy Trinity Parish, 3111 Tierra De Dios Dr., El Dorado Hills, CA, with a true Reilly celebration to follow at the Folsom Community Center, 52 Natoma St., Folsom, CA.

All proceeds will be donated in honor of Bill to Zero- The End of Prostate Cancer.

All donations will go directly to the foundation.

 “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

All our love, The Reilly Family

Hello everyone!  My name is Bryan Arbios and I love great BBQ and want to raise money for prostate cancer research and awareness. This past Christmas in the company of my family, we were chatting around the BBQ about who makes the best BBQ in our family. Well if you know any of us, it quickly turned into a BBQ competition between us. Which turned into a great opportunity to compete against prostate cancer too! Many of us are directly or indirectly affected by this terrible cancer on a daily basis. This gives us a chance to come together and enjoy a day of bbq, brews, and NCAA basketball. Along with the most important part, to raise money in the fight against prostate cancer and finding a cure!! We welcome all family and friends to 35 Hazelwood Drive in Napa, CA to join us on Saturday March 24th, 2018 in the afternoon. Plenty of food and drink will be available (please bring beverages of your choice too). I just ask you donate any amount of money to help with more research and education surrounding prostate cancer. The charity I chose to donate to is called Zero- The End of Prostate Cancer.  They are a very reputable charity and 84 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to research, awareness, and education. Please visit their website for additional information on what they do and provide, ZeroCancer.org. I am looking forward to a great day and to show how much strength family and friends can have when we come together.  

I will be providing further updates as we get closer to the event that will include some more information. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Hey everyone! So as some of you may remember, the Men of the Unilever Video Investment Team did a Movember campaign in 2017 and it was a rousing success. We raised over $1700 last year for the foundation ZERO: The End of Prostate Cancer. This year we will be attempting to surpass that amount (Mindshare Chicago is competing...and we plan on raising way more than them) 

Last year's campaign can be seen here: https://www.gofundme.com/unilever-moustaches-for-movember


(currently using the same picture, but as soon as we all have Moustaches to show off, we will update for your viewing pleaseure) 

If you watch the video at the bottom, you can see that Movember has been around for a couple of years as a way to raise funds for and bring attention to Prostate Cancer research.  

The money that we raise will be donated to "ZERO: The End of Prostate Cancer" (https://zerocancer.org/.)
 Did some research, and this charity is accredited by The Better Business Bureau (http://www.give.org/charity-reviews/national/cancer/zero-the-end-of-prostate-cancer-in-alexandria-va-4525.)

This year - ZERO has an account with GoFundMe, so the donations will be going straight to the foundation.

Any donation of any size will be greatly appreciated! We will keep you all posted with the best and latest 'stash pictures.  

 Thanks!

Charlie, Fredy, and Chris
