Borough of Beards 2021

“Borough of Beards” campaign is an annual fundraiser, taking place throughout November and December. The goal of this campaign it to raise money, in order to help local individuals and families in need. For 2021, we will be raising money for the Bastante-Howard family. Joanne Bastante-Howard is a single mother of a special needs 13 year old boy. Her son, diagnosed with Down Syndrome, is a student at ECLC School in Ho-Ho-Kus. Joanne is currently suffering from Breast Cancer, and is receiving treatment.

 

The Ho-Ho-Kus Police Department is proud to partner with:

 

Upper Saddle River Police Department

Franklin Lakes Police Department 

Woodcliff Lake Police Department

Wyckoff Police Department

HHK Borough Hall, HHK Fire Department, HHK Ambulance Corps, HHK Department of Public Works, HHK Elementary School and ECLC School.

 

We are all working together, in order to raise money for a special cause, and you can join too!

 

Our campaign will be two months long, throughout November and December, and will be represented by all male participants growing their beards and mustaches out! We are asking for everyone reading this, Ho-Ho-Kus residents, business owners, members of surrounding communities, or anyone who happened to stumble upon this campaign to join us! You can donate, any amount, to our campaign via Go Fund Me.

At the end of the campaign, all funds will be withdrawn by the Ho-Ho-Kus Police Department's Officer G. Sweetman, with permission from Ms. Hoawrd, combined with all outside donations from partnering agencies and parties and given to the Howard Family in one lump sum.
