An honest man once said, “With a great beard, comes great responsibility…” and this past November, the FischTank team took on this responsibility with the mission of doing some good through NoShaveNovember. 

I’ve supported the NoShaveNovember campaign since it became popular. From my early high school years, I was able to grow a beard before anyone else. So I decided to participate in the campaign and grow my beard out, and the amount of questions and comments I’d receive when my beard would puff out, raised more than enough awareness than I could ask for.

Coming to FischTank, I noticed a lot of my male co-workers donned a lengthy, well-groomed beard. Growing a beard was always apart of my month of November, but having the opportunity to raise money for No-Shave November, an organization devoted to growing cancer awareness and raising funds to support cancer prevention, research, and education never presented itself.

I saw an opportunity and struck up a conversation with my facial-follicle-friendly colleagues about raising money, since the office has done charitable efforts before. The FischTank team was thrilled that they could continue to let their mane grow and be able to share social-friendly photos of their progress all for a good cause. 

(from L to R: good beard, good beard, terrific beard, good beard, no beard)

Our beard growers weren’t the only ones involved though! All team members were able to spread awareness throughout their social media pages and encourage others to grow their beard out. 

In the end, our team surpassed our goal of raising $2,000 with a total of $2,080. A $2,000 match from FischTank made it $4,080 to go towards this great cause. On behalf of our entire team, we thank all of our family, friends, and colleagues for spreading the word, donating and helping us achieve our goal!

We hope to continue raising awareness and money for these great causes in the future and with your support, we can continue to do so. 

We hope everyone has a Happy Holiday and welcome in the new decade and year with tons of fun and health!

Thank you again and continue to  #LetItGrow
