- The About-Face**NEW**
Are you ready to put your beard on the line for charity? This year we are pleased to announce a whole new way to help raise funds: the About-Face! Simply chose your pledge level and start fundraising! Ask your friends, family, and coworkers to contribute! The catch? If you don’t make your goal, you have to shave down to a “penalty” style and compete in our traditional competition. Don’t like your chances in that competition? Simply raise 150% of your goal and your beard comes away unharmed. The real winner is ACS!
How does this work? Here's how we are breaking it down!
