WESTFIELD, NJ — Officer Paul Ferry and the Westfield PBA 90 are raising funds and growing their beards to support the Tri-State Canine Response Team, an organization that provides therapy dogs for those who are in need.

No-Shave November starts on Monday and involves several police departments who fundraise for a variety of reasons.

Paul launched a GoFundMe and wrote, "Each officer will pay a pre-determined amount to ditch his razor for the month of November with 100% of money raised being donated to the charity. Please feel free to donate to team Westfield PD and help us drop our razors for a worthy cause!"
