Smithville Police Officers to Participate in “No Shave November”

Members of the Smithville Police Department are participating in “No Shave November” to raise funds for Saint Jude Cancer research.
No-Shave November is a nationwide fundraiser for cancer awareness.
The money raised locally will be donated in memory of Chelsea Lauryn Clark, daughter of Tom & Vickie Clark. Chelsea gained her wings, at 15 years old in August 2016 after a four year battle with Osteosarcoma. Chelsea was a patient at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Police officers have stopped shaving for the month of November and this year’s winner will receive a free shave from Master Barber Shana Key of A1 Hair Salon. As the participants let their beards grow, family and friends are encouraged to join the campaign and become more educated about cancer prevention, saving lives, and helping those fighting cancer.
“You will soon see some Smithville police officers that could use a shave, but it’s for a good cause,” said Captain Steven Leffew of the Smithville Police Department. “Many of our officers are very enthusiastic to take part in the fundraiser, so we decided to participate as a group. I’m very proud to work beside such caring people.”
