How No-Shave November works at Perkins Motors

This is our second year running No-Shave November as a dealership fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Employees sign up on the American Cancer Society's fundraising site, and every donation goes straight to ACS. There are two ways to take part:

Growers

Growers shaved clean by November 3 and don't touch the razor again until our finale on December 3. We post updated photos every Monday so you can watch the progress (and pick a favorite).

Save the Beard

For the guys who already have a beard and want to keep it. Each one needs to raise at least $250 by December 1. Anyone who comes up short shaves his beard off at the December 3 finale.

How to donate

  1. Go to the Perkins Motors No-Shave November team page or scan the QR code.
  2. Give to the whole team, or choose a Grower or Save the Beard participant below.
  3. Perkins Motors matches every dollar until donations reach $5,000.
