CHPD No-Shave November

No-Shave November is an international, month-long awareness and fundraising campaign, during which people give up shaving and grooming in order to raise cancer awareness and funds to support cancer prevention, research, and education. The goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by growing your hair; something cancer patients often lose.

The Chapel Hill Police Department is supporting No-Shave November by putting down our razors  and donating our monthly hair-maintenance expenses to the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center!

We’ll be raising money for the Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Support Program that offers individualized support for adolescent and young adult patients facing a cancer diagnosis. The program works with teenagers and young adults ages 13-30.

So, step away from the razors please! Grow that beard or mustache, let your legs get hairy, or skip the next waxing appointment. Then donate the money you would spend on shaving and grooming. And this isn’t just for the hairy-faced men amongst us. Women are encouraged to forgo the razor and shaving supplies too. Or consider letting those lovely locks grow just a bit more and donate the amount of haircuts and products.

And if getting hairy just isn't your thing - you can still donate money to support our No-Shave November campaign!
