That kind of commitment runs deep at BPC Parks. Prior to the contest – which stipulates that all participants begin it clean-shaven – Adam Choper, Assistant Director of Horticulture, had shaved just once in the past eight years.
“I’ve basically worn a beard since I’ve been able to grow one,” Adam said. “But No-Shave November was for a great cause. And I had a lot of fun taking part.”
In all, 19 BPCA staffers participated in No-Shave November, with another 7 donating money to the cause. The effort raised nearly $500, which was donated to the American Cancer Society.
But it was more than money that was raised; it was the spirits – and of course the competitive juices – of the participants.
It was ultimately Kem Singh, who normally wears a goatee and shaves daily to avoid a creeping scruff, who was crowned winner. His outstanding beard that was the envy of all.
Thank you to all who participated in and donated to No-Shave November!
