Spreading the Word

We've been seeing some great community involvement with Beards for Breast Cancer so far. From all the participants sending pictures and the talk on Twitter and Facebook, we've been seeing a lot of people get involved. This is great! TV station Fox 59 out of Indianapolis had Adam and I on the morning show to help us spread the word, see the video below.

Be sure to let people know that its not too late to join! Anyone can start growing a beard today to join in on the cause. Remember that donations are collected using PayPal with all of the money going to the Susan G Komen for the Cure foundation. Click the Donate button on the right to help out!

 

First Day Success

The first day for Beards for Breast Cancer has been a success! We've seen people from all over the world join the cause and help raise awareness by spreading the word through Twitter and Facebook. Through the first day we've collected $140 which brings us closer to our $1000 goal.

The Fox 59 news team out of Indianapolis mentioned Beards for Breast Cancer on their morning show yesterday and has several employees participating! The video from yesterdays segment can be seen below.

Remember, it's not too late to join the campaign. If you're wanting to join, start with a clean shave today and help to spread the word and raise donations! Thanks to everyone who is joining and participating!

Let the Beards Grow

The official start for Beards for Breast Cancer is tomorrow (October 1st).  Remember to start with a clean shave on October 1st and let it grow through the end of the month.  Make sure to check out the Rules page if you have any questions on how it works.

Don't forget to take pictures throughout the month and email them to us so we can display them here.

Let the beard growing begin!

October is Approaching

This is the last week before Beards for Breast Cancer officially kicks off. Continue to spread the word and get as many people as possible to join in. On Friday, remember to be clean shaven and then feel free to throw the razor away because you won't be needing it until November!
