Lacey First Responders To Do No-Shave November For A Cause

LACEY, NJ — Lacey first responders only have a week left to use their razors. Several departments will participate in No-Shave November to fundraise for cancer charities.

Lacey police and EMS will do the challenge with the Forked River, Lanoka Harbor and Bamber Lake fire departments. So you might see some uniformed officials sporting beards and mustaches next month, all in the name of fighting cancer.

Funds raised by the “Lacey Township Challenge” will support organizations such as Prevent Cancer Foundation, Fight Colorectal Cancer, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The Lacey Township Challenge has pledged to reach a total donation of $4,000.

Donations reached $4,591 for last year's No-Shave November fundraiser. Officer Frederick Anderson — third from the right in the photo below — won Beard of the Year, as voted by his peers.
