#noshavenovember

The Ocean County Sheriff's Office PBA Local 379 is asking for the community to come together and help in raising funds for Detective Phil Sickenger and his family as he battles ALS.

Whether you refer to it as #NoShaveNovember or #Movember the important thing to remember all November long goes above the fun or growing facial hair.

Law enforcement officers in Ocean and Monmouth Counties are putting their razors down and raising awareness of mens cancer and mental health illness for various causes during No Shave November.

Each year at this time the Harvey Cedars Police Department led by Chief Robert Burnaford put the razors down and not only raise awareness of the causes this month but also collect donations for a worthy cause.

November 1 came with a story and another on November 2 on why men grow facial hair during the month of November and it's to raise support for those men battling the fight of their life in cancer or a mental health disorder.

Many men have been growing out their facial hair, no matter how it looks (like me) and walking around with all kinds of beards but for a good cause.
