East Brunswick PD’s 'No Shave November' Will Raise Funds For Cancer

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — The East Brunswick Police Department is once again participating in ‘No Shave November’ to raise money for cancer awareness.

Police Chief Frank LoSacco has authorized a relaxation of the grooming policy, permitting officers to participate by donating and growing facial hair.

Started in 2009, the “No Shave” movement encourages people to forgo shaving the entire month of November to grow their hair in honor of cancer patients, many of whom lose their hair during treatment.

The aim is to spark a conversation about cancer awareness.

Each East Brunswick officer who participates donates $10, with funds ultimately going to cancer prevention, research, and education.
