No-shave November is a family run, non-profit, web-based organization devoted to growing cancer awareness and raising funds to support cancer prevention, research and education.
Forgo the razors, let your legs be natural for a month, skip those waxing appointments and save your one month of grooming expenses to educate about cancer prevention, save lives and aid those who are fighting the battle.
When did it all start ?
No-shave November has been a tradition for many years, but it wasn't until the fall of 2009 that members of the Chicagoland Hill family decided to use it as a means to raise funds for charity.
But this project held special meaning to them because the father of these 8 Hill Children, Mathew Hill, passed away from Colon Cancer in 2007. So in 2009, they added a special purpose to this years old tradition.
Is it meant for the men only ?
People have a general misconception that No-shave November is a guy thing. No, not at all. No-shave November welcomes female participants too. While the boys can ditch shaving facial hairs for a month, women can also join this movement by quitting all kinds of grooming for a month, like threading, waxing and haircut and donating their savings to a Cancer aid society.
No-shave November just wants you to carry along the spirit of the movement beyond the gender biasness.
Why it emphasises to grow hair ?
The one and only reason why No-shave November movement lay stress on growing your hair for a month and saving the grooming cost to be donated to the Cancer fund, instead of any other means is because they want you to embrace your hair for those Cancer patients who lose theirs due to the vigorous treatment. Hair is a natural gift of God, to be grown wild and free.
Success of No-shave November ?
But what started as a trend for the Facebook followers to ditch razors for a month has turned out to be a nationwide celebration.
Every November for the past six years, the No-shavers have donated the cost of grooming and helped the organization to raise over 2 million dollars till date. No-shave November has grown exponentially since 2009.
