Participants : Beards BeCAUSE : The founders of Beards BeCAUSE, Jared Yerg and Scott Doerr, are just a few regular guys who came up with a great idea on a Sunday afternoon and put some thoughts down on a cocktail napkin. Our idea is to have a unique, fun, and successful fundraiser while raising awareness about the issue of domestic violence and making a positive impact and contribution to the Charlotte Battered Women's Shelter. The Battered Women's Shelter was chosen to raise awareness and much needed funds for an issue that impacts all of us. The abuse of women and children is intolerable, and we are hoping that bringing the issue to light will help more women realize that they are in unhealthy relationships and give them courage to make a change, while at the same time providing much needed funds to take care of these women and their families. We felt that doing something that is a symbol of masculinity, growing a beard, in support of these women's plight had a nice dichotomy.

REGISTER TODAY! Beards BeCAUSE goes Clean Shaven on July 2nd in Woodstock, IL!

GROWERS

As one of the co-Founders of Beards BeCAUSE, I am well aware that my ability to grow facial hair is secondary to the CAUSE. That being the case, my mission this year is to raise as much awareness to the CAUSE this year. We as a society should no longer be tolerant of the passive enabling of such behavior. And to have a good time...

I love to have fun, and I love to give back to the community…if I can combine the two, then life is truly rewarding. I’m pretty sure I can grow a burly beard, so those other growers better watch out! Thanks to everyone who are helping make this such a success.
