re: No Shave November, 14 hours to get your shave on

Growing facial hair in November and not donating to one of the numerous organizations doing cancer research or assisting those in need is the equivalent of doing the ice bucket challenge for fun when nobody called you out.

Yes, a goal is to raise awareness but the awareness is supposed to raise money.

My former employer would not allow facial hair, so we made a proposal to our CEO. We asked for reconsideration of the appearance code for one month or to match the funds donated by the employees for the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

He surprised us and did both.
