No Shave November

When thinking of “ No-Shave November,” or “Movember,” you might have of trail of thoughts leading to the comments you or your guy friends might have made, like  “it's cold and my beard keeps my face warm,” or “it makes me look like Chuck Norris."

Some may say it’s an excuse for guys to slack in the grooming department or that they're channeling their inner lumber jack.

However, the American Cancer Society is using this idea in a more philanthropic way.

FACT:  More than one million people in the United States get cancer each year. It can strike at ANY age. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the U.S., which means that it accounts for nearly 1 out of every 4 deaths. (http://www.cancer.org/)

No Shave November

 The American Cancer Society is using No-Shave November this year as a unique way to raise cancer awareness. Hopefully this fundraiser will have an amazing turn out that will propel this event into an annual tradition.

It’s a very clever idea to "grow" awareness with hair. The premise of this is to increase awareness by “embracing your hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free.” Donate the money that you would have spent on shaving and grooming for a month to teach cancer prevention, save lives and support those who are fighting this disease. (http://www.no-shave.org/) 

While this seems like something that’s only geared towards men – it’s not. Both men and women are more than welcome to join the cause by making donations. Put that facial hair to good use and donate this year!

Always help spread the word. The accumulation of donations means an increase in resources to prevent and fight cancer.
