‘No Shave November’ Isn’t All about the Beard

November: the month when people all over the country pack up their razors and shaving cream, the month when it becomes perfectly acceptable to grow out your hair. Therefore, this month has been labeled´No Shave November.´ Yet, the majority of the participants are unaware of the main objective.

Though many participants just grow out their hair for the fun of it, No Shave November is a way to raise awareness for cancer. A website called no-shave.org is encouraging participants to use the money that they would normally use to buy razors and other hair-grooming products, and donate them to a cancer prevention and awareness fund.

The money is used to educate people about cancer, along with helping to fight and cure those who have the condition. The idea is to let your wild and untamed hair remind you and others to join the fight against cancer, especially because many chemotherapy patients lose their hair.

From September 1st to December 31st, they are accepting donations that will be sent to organizations such as St. Jude Childrens’ Research Hospital and the American Cancer Society. Those who would like to participate can create their own fundraising page on the website, or simply give their support to those who are already raising money for the No-Shave November cancer awareness cause.
