AtlantiCare seeks No-Shave November “Heroes of Hair”

AtlantiCare will hold its third annual No-Shave November ‘Heroes of Hair’ fundraising campaign November 1- 30.

As part of ‘Heroes of Hair,’ the AtlantiCare Foundation encourages members of the community, providers, and staff to let their hair grow during November and donate the money that they would have spent on shaving and haircuts to the AtlantiCare Treasure the Moment Fund. Participants can grow a beard, cultivate a mustache, skip a waxing or hair appointment, or simply donate.

The Treasure the Moment Fund assists cancer patients with expenses including wigs, prostheses and more, allowing them to focus their energies on healing.

AtlantiCare will host a wrap-up event November 29, 2018 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Hidden Sands Brewing Company in Egg Harbor Township. All participants and those who donate a minimum of $25 to the campaign are invited. Participants are encouraged to bring before and after photos.

Campaign participants can create individual or team fundraising pages or simply choose to donate without setting up a page by visiting www.AtlantiCare.org/noshave. For more information please call 609-407-2259.
