For the fourth consecutive year, residents can anticipate South River police officers and staff members sporting mustaches and beards to raise money and awareness for cancer.

Coming on the heels of the department’s breast cancer awareness initiatives during October, No-Shave November is about embracing hair, which many patients lose during cancer treatment. Money typically spent on razors and shaving during the month is instead donated to charity for cancer research and to aid those fighting cancer battles.

Each participating officer has personally made a monetary donation to the cause.

Donations can be made directly to No-Shave.org under the South River Police Department team. The goal of the department is to raise $2,500. Visit www.no-shave.org/team/srpd
