GASTONIA -- Some Gaston County Sheriff's Department employees are wearing a new look for a great cause.

The sheriff's department is allowing employees to grow beards and moustaches for a fee as part of No Shave November and through the month of December.

Employees must pay $50 per month to participate in the event. The money raised will go towards the Special Olympics Torch Run.

This is the second year the department has participated in the event. Last year they raised more than $3,000.

Anyone who wishes to donate can do so by contacting the Gaston County Sheriff’s Department at 704-869-6800.

 

Here are some photo updates on their beard status:
