About No Shave November:
Possibly the most ingenious charitable scheme ever devised, No Shave November helps some of the world’s sickest children by asking participants to do nothing. Literally. Knowing that shaving sucks time out of each day and money out of men’s wallets, a couple of guys at a Nashville record label came up with a plan: Stop shaving for a month, but put a positive twist on it by donating the money saved – at least $30 – to a worthy cause like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In just three years, the effort has spawned thousands of beards and, more importantly, thousands of dollars in donations to St. Jude.
