Harvey Cedars Police Department - Growing Beards for Cancer Awareness
The Harvey Cedars Police Department will participate in the 'No Shave November' campaign aimed at bringing awareness and funding for cancer prevention, education and research.
Members of the Police Department will go through the entire month of November without shaving to help raise cancer awareness. Each of the Officers will also voluntarily make a monetary donation.
"Cancer has an impact on everyone and in so many different ways. Bringing awareness and funding for prevention, education and research is something that we can all take part in." Chief Robert Burnaford.
The Officers unanimously chose to have 100% of the donations go to the Joan Karnell Supportive Care Program at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania, which is where Chief Burnaford's mom is currently being treated. Deborah Burnaford is currently battling Colorectal Cancer.
"The fact that all of my officers wanted these funds to go to a Cancer Center of my mom's choice truly means the world to me." Burnaford says.
We ask everyone to join us in this campaign!
