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. No shave November started after a father in Chicago passed away from colon cancer. His 8 sons and daughters started this campaign in 2009 in honor of their father. The goal is to donate the money you would normally use to get a haircut or groom your facial hair to cancer research charities. Over 8 years, this became a popular thing in many parts of the world. The real no shave November meaning and significance often gets lost among all jokes, hashtags and hype created by the media. Many men don’t even realize why they do it.
Sometimes we make a joke of something without even realizing the real reason behind it. Don’t just participate in No Shave November to grow an awesome beard but make it worthwhile and donate the money you’re saving to cancer research.
