Police Take Part In 'No Shave November' Fundraiser In Morris Plains

MORRIS PLAINS, NJ — This month Morris Plains Police Department officers are putting their razors away for a good cause.

The Police Department is once again taking part in "No Shave November" to raise funds for a local officer with cancer.

According to police, officers will participate in the fundraiser, and all funds raised will be donated to an officer in a neighboring jurisdiction who was recently diagnosed with cancer.

The "No Shave November" movement encourages individuals, businesses and organizations to forgo shaving the entire month of November in honor of cancer patients, many of whom lose their own hair during treatment.

Local police departments hope to spark a conversation about cancer awareness by not shaving. Each officer who participates donates $50 minimum to the cause, with funds going to a fellow Morris County Police Officer who has been diagnosed with cancer.

Anyone from the public is allowed to donate to the cause by sending a check for any amount and reference “No Shave November,” to: Morris Plains PBA Local 254 P.O. Box 461 Morris Plains, NJ 07950.
