The Beard and Moustache Club rounded up a few men, had them don tails, and shot a monthly calendar for 2018.

The calendar wasn’t just for fun, though it looks like the mer-men had a great time with the shoot.

The calendar raised about $300,00 for a mental health charity.
The Merb’ys donated a whopping $300,466.53 to @SpiritHorseNL from the sales of around 16,000 calendars #cbcnl pic.twitter.com/GUh9ZS5Dsc

The calender’s name, Merb’ys, also had an interesting background.
In case you were wondering, the word "Merb'ys" combines "mermaid" and "b'y," which is a local term for boy. https://t.co/tjgNMXCkZz pic.twitter.com/GKCunZC5TO

It seems worth the buy, if there are any left in one’s area.
