I think it started with Movember, the month-long campaign in November to grow a 
moustache and raise funds. Now we have Go Sober for October from Macmillan Cancer
Care.

These punning fundraising campaign months made me wonder: have all the months of
the year been taken up in this manner? I'm well aware that all dates in the calendar
have long been commandeered for various charity awareness and fundraising campaigns,
whether as a day, a week or a month.

I was wondering if there is a list of these punning month campaigns? So, here is
mine. If you can add to it, let me know and I'll credit you of course.
