The Carmel Fire Department (CFD) and the City of Carmel proudly present the Movember event “Everyone Deserves Their Morning Sun” dedicated to raising awareness for men’s health.
On Monday, Nov. 4 at 9 a.m. the roundabout at Range Line Road, Clay Terrace Boulevard, and Lowes Way will be transformed into a vibrant tribute to men impacted by prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health challenges. This event goes beyond a fundraiser – it’s a statement of hope and strength for everyone touched by the issues Movember seeks to address.
A beacon of courage & unity
“Morning Sun” by artist Brad Howe is one of Carmel’s most recognizable public art pieces. Next month it will take on new significance as it transforms into a place of remembrance, support, and victory through the month of November. Its rounded, rising shape – just like the sun that shines after every storm – is a metaphor for the cause at the heart of Movember: men’s health.
“I am very proud of this piece,” Howe said. “I’m honored and delighted that it will be used for such an important campaign.”
This year, every $5 received for Movember will go towards the placement of a white flag in the center of the roundabout. These flags will represent survivors, loved ones, and supporters and will create a visible and powerful display of unity and shared courage.
The hope is that the center of the roundabout will be a sea of flags that tell stories of triumph over the health challenges Movember shines a light on and will serve as reminders that overcoming them is not just a personal victory, but a shared one.
Help Carmel shine brighter
With “Morning Sun” at the center of this event, CFD’s goal is to make it a beloved and meaningful spot in Carmel throughout the month of November of beyond – a place that symbolizes resilience, community, and the unstoppable spirit of those who continue to fight for better health outcomes for men. The Nov. 4 event will be a celebration but also a moment of reflection and inspiration that will be remembered long after the sun sets.
