Reno, NV…The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is giving their support to local men battling prostate cancer by putting away their razors and growing facial hair throughout the month of November.

During the Sheriff’s Office first ever “No Shave November,” Sheriff Chuck Allen has authorized all staff to grow facial hair outside the normal Sheriff’s Office standards for the month in exchange for a $20 donation to the Renown Health Foundation. “The response has been enormous and the enthusiasm is overwhelming,” Sheriff Allen said. “I’m proud to say that staff has already raised over four thousand dollars to support the Renown Health Foundation in their mission.”
