Abstract:
Cape Beard, a beard club in Fayetteville, was created to support the resurgence of facial hair but has further developed as a non-profit. Formed in 2011 as a men’s beard club (a remnant of a byegone era), the club’s 60 members have raised over $100,000 for organizations within Cumberland County. Past fundraisers have included pig roasts, bearded beauty competitions, food drives, and beard/mustache competitions.
