WELCOME TO FIREHOUSE MOUSTACHE WAX
I’ve sported a moustache for 24 years now. I have used waxes off and on during the past 24 years. The problem I ran into was that twice I found a wax I liked and then they no longer became available. I experimented in making my own wax but always would give up and let the idea rest. This last time I was bound and determined to make a product I could use, so I brought my ingredients to the fire station when I was off to experiment more. The men at the station got right in the middle of it, often offering ideas, help and even some referrals. Thus the name for the wax was created. So on days off at the station for the next month I added and took away ingredients and came up with today’s product.
My goal was to make a wax that had all the good features of a fine wax. To me this meant having a wax that would have a good hold but be workable and easy to apply. Since I work outdoors as a fireman and a farrier in Mississippi where the year round humidity and summer heat wreak havoc on moustaches, I had a challenge ahead of me.
When I first contemplated the idea of marketing a wax, I had an additional thought. One, I wanted to give something back to organizations who help lots of people and two, why not let the consumer be involved by letting 25 cents per tin go to a different charity each year. Thus came the idea of having a counter on my website that is updated each month to let the consumer know how much has been donated so far in that year.
I hope I have created a wax that can be enjoyed by most. This wax is suitable for a wide variety of moustache styles. Whether you are trying to hold a certain shape or control unruly hairs, this wax is easy to apply and will not run. Our waxes are made to get better with each use. They may be a little soft at first, but will get stiffer the more you open and shut the tin, which traps air in.
TO APPLY, simply push some up onto your index finger letting it curl up on your fingernail. Then wipe it on your thumb of the same hand. Rub the wax between your fingers for just a second and apply to your moustache with index finger, applying a little at a time using the wax off of your thumb. Some people may find it better to lightly run a comb or brush through the moustache once applied. Firehouse Wax is offered in a light or dark color as well as our unique "Wacky Tacky."
I hope you’ll find this wax satisfying and enjoyable!

SUNNYBROOK CHILDREN'S HOME
Making a difference one child at a time...
About Sunnybrook:
Basically, we are a non-profit 501 c 3 organization that takes in orphaned or abused/neglected children for the purpose of providing them a safe and loving environment in which to live and grow. We try to provide them with the most “normal” life we can under the circumstances. They have houseparents, who are a “Mom and Dad” that live with them 24/7. Our kids attend the Ridgeland Public Schools and local churches. We have tutors and volunteers that help the kids keep up/catch up with their school work and participate in other activities.
As a Christian ministry-based, professional childcare organization, Sunnybrook proudly continues its mission to help society's children who have had challenging beginnings in their young lives. The programs and services offered are designed to provide a sense of community, promote social skills, foster healing and reconciliation of the past. The campus itself can be a source of inspiration for kids of all ages.
Sunnybrook Children's Home is located on the sunny side of Sunnybrook Road in the heart of the City of Ridgeland, Mississippi. Kids who live at Sunnybrook have the benefit of being tucked into residential homes with a feeling of country life, amid towering oak trees all around the campus. There are vast expanses for playing, cycling, picnicking, walking and jogging. An outdoor park equipped with all things fun is a favorite of our younger children. The kids who play basketball, baseball and tennis enjoy the gymnasium, baseball field and tennis courts respectively.
Sunnybrook Children's Home Administration Building is positioned on an east/west axis. Every morning the sun gloriously rises over Sunnybrook, and the evening sky is ablaze as the sun sinks deep into the western horizon.
In addition to the Ridgeland Campus, the Sunnybrook Ranch is located on Highway 22, Flora, Mississippi. Registered cattle are raised on the ranch to provide show calves for the 4-H Club members.
