Although I cannot prove your 80% statistic, I am very confident that the number of people that grew a stache and raised money is much higher than the number of people that changed their FB picture and raised money (or, by extension, same with the # of people that posted their bra color or the location of their purse).

However, as I posted earlier, I'm young, and I currently have no personal passion towards helping prostate cancer. Whether or not my lack of caring outside of Movember about prostate cancer is slacktivism is another story.
I definitely agree with that.

In terms of how much they help I would rank it: actual donating/volunteering etc > Movember type events > FB campaigns
