We have an important announcement about Janubeard! We have launched this new fundraising event to raise money for children’s charities. Please support by growing a beard in January and/or encouraging your husband, partner, family and friends to do so – or by donating to someone who is (such as myself!). Thanks so much in anticipation of your support.
From the website:
Always wanted to make a difference to the world but didn’t know where to start? It’s easy: grow a beard in the month of January to raise money for kids charities. Man up and get hairy for Janubeard!
Janubeard is the world’s largest beard harmonisation event, with one unifying factor: respect and nurture of the beard for a month. It involves real men from all walks of life regardless of their culture, race, religion or beliefs. In January, we are encouraging all men to become unshaven, unshorn, bewhiskered, stubbly, shaggy, bushy, woolly, furry, fleecy and bristly – all in the name of raising money for kids who need it most.
Clean shaven gents will put away their shavers and commence growing on January 1st, and will resist the temptation to reach for the clippers until February 1st. Money is raised for the fundraiser’s selected charity through our fundraising page, and by the end of January the world is a better (bearded) place!
Man Up! The catchcry will be heard in the streets, and hairless faces will be few and far between around the world in the month of January.
