Each November, men of all ages let it all grow out, as in their facial hair of course, to show their support for The Movember Foundation, a global charity that aids in helping men live healthier lives and tackles men specified issues and disease such as prostate cancer and more.
To show your support for the cause, participate in the hairiest 5k race ever, the Mustache Dache, on November 12th in downtown Detroit. Whether you grow out your own mustache, or stick on a fake one, join your fellow mustachers as you run, walk, skip, or trot your way through Detroit for a good cause. 
The race starts at 10:00 am at Atwater Brewery and is open to all ages. And ladies, you’re invited too. Just because you can’t grow your own mustache doesn’t mean you can’t rock one just as good as any guy can! Have fun with it and channel your inner cowboy with a horseshoe mustache, or go the classic route with a handlebar mustache. Be creative and dress up as famous mustache rocking characters or people such as Luigi and Mario, Borat, or Charlie Chaplin. Or sport your very own home grown mustache — the opportunities are endless!
All participants receive a Mustache Dache t-shirt, a mustache dache medal, a complimentary mustache consolation by local barbers, and if you’re of age, an adult beverage to sip on. Post race, gather at Atwater brewery for drinks, food, a photo booth, a costume contest and much more!
$40 for adults, $20 for children (12 and under). To register, visit http://mustachedache.com/detroit/
What type of mustace will you be rocking at this year's race?

One of the kindest things you can do is be inspiring to others, with a warm smile, a kind gesture, a hand up. But don’t forget you. Inspire yourself to be that person you’ve always wanted to be, or do that one thing that will really make your day, week, year, life.

]]>A big-tall-cold-ice filled glass of lemonade thank you goes out to all the Paragon Properties, volunteers, and residents that made “Alex’s Lemonade Stand—Giving Apartment Style” a huge success.
The goal was to raise $5000 for the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, that helps to fight childhood cancer. The goal was reached through the generous donations and efforts of residents and volunteers, and selling lemonade.
By reaching this goal, Paragon Properties will match the amount raised, doubling the funds raised to combat childhood cancer. The best part is that the goal was surpassed!
Once again, a big Thank You to all who participated and donated to such a worthy cause.

Unfortunately, there are very real realities among us, like not having food or shelter. And fortunately, there are organizations that work daily to help. But, they in turn need our help to keep doing what they do.
One such organization is Gleaners Food Bank, which serves southeast Michigan. Gleaners tries to make the effort for you to help as easy as possible. On their website you can access the “Gleaners Virtual Food Drive.” Instead of you you purchasing food from a store and bringing the items to them, you can shop or donate directly from the Gleaners website.
“You can help us reach our goal of distributing the equivalent of over 100,000 meals every day to our hungry neighbors in southeast Michigan. With a demand at an all-time high, we have to purchase more food than ever in order to meet the needs of our 550 food pantries, soup kitchens, and community agencies.
Your generous gift to Gleaners will provide our hungry neighbors with the nutritious and healthy meals they need. Of every dollar donated, Gleaners uses 94 cents for food and food programs. One dollar provides three meals for a hungry neighbor.
- Virtual Food Drives can be done from your computer without having to remember to shop for cans and haul them to work
- Your dollar goes further because of our bulk purchasing power and efficient distribution network
- Virtual Food Drives are green (i.e., no boxes, no bags, no transportation costs or carbon emissions)
- Your donation is 100% tax deductible
Please make a gift today.”

If you like, you can also contribute in a way that may be familiar to you by bringing donations to your local Paragon Community.
For the length of the cold weather, canned and non-perishable donations will be accepted at Paragon Properties Apartment locations during normal business hours, Monday-Saturday.
