Let It Grow with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and No-Shave November
It’s time to grow that mustache you always wanted, try out that mullet everyone warned you against, and let that leg hair grow wild because No-Shave November has selected the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation as one of its benefiting organizations for the third year in a row!
Childhood brain cancer is a growing threat to families across the country. Diagnoses, mortality rates, and the number of survivors living with long-term side effects are all on the rise. Yet funding for pediatric brain tumor research and family support resources isn’t keeping up.
Since 2009, No-Shave November has been a rallying cry for like-minded nonprofits across the cancer community, partnering to raise awareness about cancer’s impact, educating a greater number of individuals about cancer prevention and research, and providing support to patients, survivors, and families. Over the past two years, caring individuals, teams, and corporate partners have gotten hairy during No-Shave November and raised more than $118,000 in support of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s mission.
We are overjoyed to be back and working with so many exceptional organizations. Our goal has always been to spread awareness about cancer with an emphasis on research and prevention. Growing alongside this year's benefiting partners helps us cultivate that awareness and spread our hairy mission to others. Our campaign's exciting new look signals that No-Shave November is for everyone and that we can’t wait to welcome any new No-Shavers to our ongoing fight against cancer.
