You may notice that some members of the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office are unshaven, and may even look a little scruffy. They look this way because they are participating in “No Shave November”.
“No-Shave November is a month-long journey during which participants forgo shaving and grooming in order to evoke conversation and raise cancer awareness,” explains Sheriff Dean Growdon.
“The goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose. Deputies will be donating the money they typically spend on shaving and grooming to the No-Shave November Program.”
You Can Be a Part of it Too
Participate by growing a beard, cultivating a mustache, letting those legs go natural and skipping that waxing appointment. Put down your razor and set up your own personal No-Shave November fundraising page. If you’re not ready to get hairy, sit back and support someone who is.
The rules of No-Shave November are simple: put down your razor for 30 days and donate your monthly hair-maintenance expenses to the cause. Strict dress-code at work? Don’t worry about it! Participation of any kind is encouraged; grooming and trimming are perfectly acceptable.
Those funds are used to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting the battle. The funds go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the American Cancer Society, the Prevent Cancer Foundation and Fight Colorectal Cancer.
