Choptober is a Kiwi owned and operated fundraising initiative where participants grow their "Chops" (Sideburns) during the month of October and raise money for charity in the process. The Choptober Foundation (who administers the Choptober event) has managed to raise over $100,000 of sponsorship in order to get everything up and running.

Choptober 2011 is honoured to be supporting three awesome charities who are all focused on Christchurch this year. We hope that through our work we can help some of those effected by the earthquakes.

Because Choptober is run with no budget, we turn to our sponsors to help get things moving.  If it wasn't for each and every one of these guys, Choptober wouldn't be where it is today.

In order to get these guys on board we made a huge promise to them. We said that they would get a return on investment that would better any other fundraiser out there.

Citizens of New Zealand, we now need you to go forth and support the people who have supported Choptober!

The Choptober crew are a special bunch. Their hardcore dedication and devotion to the cause is second to none. They have sacrificed family events, sports games, holidays and many trips to the pub to make Choptober the success that it is today. With Jeremy Mould and Seton Lillas leading the charge to help the victims of the Christchurch quakes, Choptober 2011 is set to go off!
