American Mustache Institute
The organization held its second ‘Stache Bash in 2007, and just prior USA Today wrote the event was part of AMI's efforts to "protect the rights of, and bias against, mustached Americans."On October 25, 2008, retired New York City policeman Timothy P. Galvin was named the winner of the first ever "Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year".[12] In 2013, the organization moved to Pittsburgh, the hometown of Adam Paul Causgrove, winner of the 2012 Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year.[14] During the ceremony, the city's "heritage of the sexually dynamic American mustache lifestyle" and the example set by mustachioed Pittsburgh luminaries as Andrew Carnegie, George Westinghouse, Willie Stargell and Rocky Bleier were celebrated.[13] The organization's annual 'Stache Bash, where the Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year is awarded, will be held in Station Square, with local charity Step to Independence serving as the beneficiary.
