novem-beard

bri's company has a tradition of holding a "novem-beard" contest. this year they decided to couple it with a fundraiser to raise money for a local eight-year-old with congenital heart disease -- who doctors said had little chance of surviving and is continually supported by his single father and his 3 siblings. story



everyone in the company that wanted to participate were encouraged to grow their beards out all month and ask for pledges for every 1/4" of facial hair that they grew throughout the month. those who couldn't grow facial hair could have a proxy stand in for them to also help raise money.


the final numbers haven't come in, but i think they were able to raise a good amount for the boy and his family. it was a great project for bri to participate in and i think the whole company thoroughly enjoyed themselves!


when december 1 came, the company decided to hold a contest to see who could shave the coolest design in their beards. i'm not sure who won, but this is what bri looked like when he left the house yesterday morning...everyone told me i should get the "best wife award" because i let him go out like this!

ps my spacing hates me...i don't know how to fix it.
