CLARKSVILLE, TN – The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office raised $15,560 for five local charities and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital with the Wooly Winter No Shave Fundraiser.
Deputies were able to forego shaving for the months of November, December and January by making a $100 donation. All proceeds from the fundraiser were divided equally among six charities.
Soldier and Families Embraced (S.A.F.E), FUEL Kids, Urban Ministries Safe House, YAIPak Outreach, Concerns for Police Survivors (C.O.P.S), and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital equally divided the funds.
“We look forward to this fundraiser every year,” said Sheriff John Fuson. “Not only do our deputies enjoy not having to shave for a few months, but it also allows us to give back to the community we serve.”
Deputies will have the opportunity to continue wearing their beards through the month of March.
