Merrimack Police Growing Beards for Charity
It's all part of a fundraiser for the Special Olympics of New Hampshire.
Why are Merrimack Police officers not shaving? The month of February is "Donate to Insulate."
According to the Merrimack Police Department's Facebook page, officers had to raise money for the Special Olympics of New Hampshire's Winni Dip to be able to sport these fancy beards for the month. Don't be surprised when an officer is seen driving down the road with facial hair, it's all for a good cause.
If you would like to donate to the Special Olympics you can either come by the police station or click here. Pictured above are Sgt. Brian Levesque and Officer Mike Marcotte.
Hudson Police are also growing beards for the Wini Dip during the month of February.
