Students shave beards to raise money for BCM

I mustache you a question. What better way to celebrate No Shave November than to auction off beards for a good cause?

The ULM BCM is holding their first annual Beard Auction at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29, which will take place at the BCM.

Thirteen brave souls, men of course, volunteered to be judged at this event. Anyone is encouraged to come participate and bid on a beard.

The winner of each beard will be allowed to shave the beard however they like. Once the beard has been shaved, it has to stay that way for 24 hours.

“I’m quite itchy,” said Roy Brown, a junior general studies major. “So I’m looking forward to shaving this beard off.”

Jeremy Hill, a sophomore sociology major said, “I’m excited about the event since it goes towards missions. I think it is going to be unpredictable to say the least.”

The money donated will benefit winter and summer mission trips for the BCM. Todd Strain, the director of the BCM, said these are collective funds since all of the BCMs are raising money statewide.

The BCM takes trips to new places every year for a good cause.

“I see this event as a creative fun way to raise money for a good cause. I am definitely looking forward to the outcome,” Strain said.

Strain will be participating in the auction as well and encourages everyone to come to the BCM.
