Brovember Inc. is a non-profit organization established in Rockford by local resident and business owner, Dave Armstrong, who launched the initiative in June 2012 after one of his clients was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The IceHogs have partnered with Brovember Inc. on various initiatives over the since 2012, including the Hogs' annual Bowl-A-Thon fundraiser.
In addition, Brovember Inc. has developed numerous programs on its own to raise funds for cancer research and help establish local healthcare programs. Along with its successful "beard-a-thon" fundraiser each November, the organization also expanded its outreach to create a Brovember U.S. Endowment with the University of Illinois College of Medicine.
