This year, the campaign had more than 715,000 global participants and raised more than $69 million for research so far. That’s still less than last year’s tally of $116 million, but funds will keep coming in until early 2015\. 2013 also saw a good 200,000 more mustache-growers: a total of 969,188 worldwide. “We’re realistic and, like any organization, are aware that there will be some years that are stronger than others in terms of participation,” said a Movember spokesperson in an email to TIME. “However, our community has funded more than [800 programs ](http://us.movember.com/report-cards)that are making a tangible difference for men’s health.” Movember also announced that they funded a prostate cancer research [breakthrough](http://us.movember.com/news/8657/prostate-cancer-breakthrough/?category=local) earlier this year, which allows men to undergo a genetic test that can predict their risk of recurrence. The organization also launched [True NTH](http://us.movember.com/programs/prostate-cancer), a $36 million investment to improve the quality of life of men with prostate cancer. Funds from this year’s campaign are still incoming, but to date, Movember has raised more than $600 million in its 11 years of existence, thanks to the nearly five million men and women who participated.
