Club Spotlight: Dublin University’s Movember Initiative
November 26, 2025
In this edition of our Club Spotlight, we’re turning our attention to the Men’s Dublin University Hockey Team, who have brought fantastic energy to raising funds and awareness by taking part in Movember.
Movember is a global movement that encourages people to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues — including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. One of the main themes of Movember is growing a moustache throughout the month to spark conversation and support for the cause.
While we’re highlighting Dublin University Hockey Team, it’s also important to acknowledge the brilliant work happening across many Leinster clubs who are supporting Movember this year.
At Dublin University, there has been a real drive to raise awareness and funds through a wide range of events and challenges, helping to bring the community together throughout the month. They’ve introduced milestone challenges, hosted events, organised sea swims, and regularly showcased the progress of everyone taking part.
Movember Challenges
Dublin University created a series of fun (and often very entertaining!) challenges tied to different fundraising milestones. Starting at €100 and running all the way to €5,000, each time a new target was reached, a new challenge was unlocked.
As donations continued to grow — with over €5,000 already raised — even more challenges were added, keeping the momentum going and giving everyone plenty of motivation to see what comes next.

Here are just some of the challenges they’ve completed so far:
Key Events
The team have also organised two main Movember events:
Dad Night – November 19th
A fun-filled evening where everyone dresses up as a classic “Irish Dad.” We seen plenty of questionable outfit choices and even some Dad dancing as the night went on!
Sea Swim – November 23rd
The group will also be braving the cold Irish water for a community sea swim, with all funds going directly to the Movember campaign. It promises to be a fantastic and cold morning!
Progress Updates
Dublin University have kept everyone updated on the progress of their moustache-growing efforts, sharing weekly snapshots from Week 1 all the way through Week 4. The updates have been a great way to keep the momentum going while celebrating the commitment of everyone involved.
With over €5,000 already raised, the donation link will remain open throughout the rest of the month. This is a fantastic initiative by Dublin University — their mix of challenges, events, and regular updates has created a hugely positive campaign that highlights a very important cause while raising much-needed funds.
Brilliant work by everyone involved.
