No Shave November is a web-based, nonprofit organization devoted to increasing cancer awareness and raising funds to support cancer prevention, research, and education. The goal of No Shave November is to spread cancer awareness through hair, which many cancer patients lose, by letting it grow. Participants donate the money typically spent on shaving and grooming to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting the battle.
