Shave November and Movember.
At some point in the last couple of years you have probably heard of
No shave November which has gained popularity in North America.
The whole purpose of no shave November is not to let your beards
grow crazy, but to raise awareness for different kinds of cancer
including prostate cancer. The goal is to donate the money you
normally would use to get a haircut or groom your facial hair to St.
Jude or other cancer research charities.
So, how did No shave November start? No Shave November started
after a father in the States passed away from colon cancer. His 8 sons
and daughters started this campaign in 2009 in honor of their father.
Over 6 years this became a popular thing to do among many
throughout the country. Hence, No Shave November started on
Facebook in 2009, asking participants to raise money they would
spend on grooming and has raised millions for charity.
