What is No Shave November?

No Shave is a fundraising campaign built to support cancer education and awareness. Every November, we invite you to grow your hair, raise awareness, and support cancer advocacy, education, and research. Pledge the dollars you’d normally spend on grooming and hair care to support the cause. Together, we can build a vibrant community committed to change—one hair at a time.

HAIR OR NO HAIR — YOU BELONG HERE

LET YOUR HAIR GROW

No Shave is more than just appearances; it’s growing awareness about cancer prevention, education, and research. Participants unable to grow their hair are encouraged to support the cause by donating or encouraging others.

SKIP GROOMING COSTS

DID YOU KNOW: On average, consumers spend $60–$150 a month on grooming— from haircuts and razors to skincare, shaving supplies, and styling products. This No Shave November, we’re asking you to skip the shave and pledge those dollars to support cancer research, education, and powerful advocacy efforts.

Whether you’re showcasing your own style or starting a friendly competition, every effort counts. Share your journey, inspire others, and help make a real impact—one hair at a time.

why it matters

Cancer diagnoses are on the rise, impacting millions of men and women across the U.S. each year. This growing burden highlights the urgent need for strong support systems, bold advocacy, and sustained funding for research. That’s why we’re partnering with Man Up To Cancer, to unite our voices, share resources, and strengthen the fight against cancer. Together, we’re building a community that empowers patients, uplifts caregivers, and drives progress.

2024

In 2024, No Shave November found a new home with Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC). We proudly carry forward the Hill family’s inspiring legacy supporting all cancer communities through awareness, advocacy, and grants that fund impactful education and awareness efforts.

No Shave November began in 2009 as a grassroots Facebook campaign started by the Hill family of Illinois in memory of their father, Matthew Hill, who passed away from colon cancer in November 2007. What began as a bold and heartfelt idea to grow hair, start conversations, and fund cancer research quickly became a nationwide movement uniting people through purpose and facial hair.

We will never forget that Matthew Hill and his family turned facial hair into a powerful symbol of awareness and solidarity.

No Shave November began as a tribute. Today, it’s a movement. Help us honor Matthew Hill by continuing to spark awareness and save lives.
