(Prince George, VA) – No Shave November – Prince George County Police and Sheriff’s Personnel to Participate. November 1 – 30, 2016
We are proud to announce that effective November 1 – 30, Prince George County Police and Sheriff’s personnel will be participating in “No-Shave November.” In support of our very own Fleet Manager, Ralph Summerson, and all of the other folks in our community who are either fighting or fought the battle with cancer, we will be exempting our grooming requirements, as it relates to facial hair, throughout the month.
The goal of “No-Shave November” is to promote cancer awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, with officers growing beards and goatees. Participants are asked to donate $30.00 (one dollar per day) towards this cause. At the request of Mr. Summerson, all collected monies will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Officers and deputies that wish to remain “clean shaven” can still show support with a monetary donation on behalf of Ralph.
We would like to recognize Deputy Brian Rouse, of the Prince George County Sheriff’s Office, for initiating this idea!
