“No Shave” November is back this year, and Fishers Police are raising money to benefit the Officer Binh Dennis, who was seriously injured in an off-duty motorcycle crash in Brown County.
This November’s “No Shave” effort will also highlight support in general for those waging a battle against illness or injury.
“We all have loved ones, friends, and co-workers that have been touched by cancer,” said Fishers Police Chief Ed Gebhart. “As a police department, we are always seeking new ways to engage with the community.”
Beginning November 1st you may see a Fishers police officer with some scruffiness keep in mind this is purposeful and temporary, as part of the “No Shave” fund-raising effort . Male officers will have the opportunity to grow their facial hair and female officers will be allowed to wear pink or blue highlights in their hair.
Feel free to join The Fishers Police Department as officers raise awareness for a worthy cause and reduce the stigma that is often associated with physical and mental health disease.
Check for progress on the fundraising effort on the Fishers Police Department’s Facebook and Twitter accounts.
