The Lacrosse team raised £5,000 and one student, Will Baird, raised £600 on his own.
That money will now go towards research into prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
The charity aims to reduce the number of men dying prematurely 25 per cent by 2030.
To raise money for Movember men are sponsored to grow a moustache and/ or a beard.

The end of November means the end of Movember which is the time for everyone to come together and judge the best moustache and see how much money was raised.
Since 2003 when Movember first started, the charity has grown from 30 moustaches to five million a year.
Oxford Brookes' target for next year's Movember is £20,00.
