FUNDRAISING

In November the men of the Sheboygan Police Department get hairy! Each year, officers of the Sheboygan Police Department will be participating in “No Shave November.” If you’re not already aware, this fundraiser is our opportunity to raise awareness and money for Big Brothers Big Sisters WI Shoreline (BBBS). In exchange for a donation to BBBS, officers are allowed to put down their razors and grow facial hair during the month of November. Since we began our involvement with this fundraiser in 2016, we have raised over $15,000 to support the work of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Since Sheboygan Police Officers are generally not allowed to grow facial hair, this event provides a fun opportunity to connect with members of the public when asked about their unusual hairiness. If someone inquires about their appearance, officers are encouraged to engage them in a brief discussion about Big Brothers Big Sisters and share that our agency supports the mentoring they do to prevent delinquency and build character in kids.
