Our third annual Beard It Up and Color for The Cure campaigns (running through November and December) are off to a flying start. Last year we raised over $216,000 with over $188,000 coming from 57 law enforcement agency partnerships nationwide. How much will we raise this year?
1 in 330 children in the U.S. will develop cancer by age 20.
On the average, 15,500 children are diagnosed with cancer each year.
Cancer is the #1 killer of children by disease in the United States, yet it remains one of the most underfunded diseases in the world.
Not a first responder but still want to grow a glorious beard for a righteous cause? We encourage above-average Joes and corporations to join in the fight. Create a fundraising page and start not shaving! And if you can't grow a beard, you can still make a difference by coloring your hair or nails for the cure instead!
