Lakeport Police officers participate in ‘No Shave November’ to increase cancer awareness, raise funds for local group
Police Chief Brad Rasmussen said department and association members are participating in the “No Shave November” campaign, which will help raise funds for their partner organization in the effort, Sponsoring Survivorship.
The goal of “No Shave November” is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free.
The officers invite community members to join them in not shaving or cutting hair to support the cause.
They encourage participants to donate the money they would typically spend on shaving and grooming to educate about cancer prevention, save lives and aid those fighting the battle. Both women and men can participate.
Officers and the association also will be donating money to the effort.
Rasmussen said 100-percent of the funds raised in his department’s “No Shave November” campaign will go to Sponsoring Survivorship in Lake County.
Sponsoring Survivorship was established in Lake County to help local women and men cover costs associated with their struggle against breast cancer.
Donations can be made by dropping off checks – made to Sponsoring Survivorship – or cash for “No Shave November” to any LPD Officer, Sponsoring Survivorship Coordinator Shirley Crawford at 707-279-1364, or to Umpqua Bank in Lakeport under the account 4865588257.
Sponsoring Survivorship is a nonprofit organization with federal tax ID #45-3321877. Donation receipts are available.
