Beard Patrol

Grow a Beard. Give Back. Save Lives.

Join men and supporters across the country this November by growing facial hair for 30 days to raise awareness and funds for testicular cancer education, early detection, and support.

What is Beard Patrol?

Beard Patrol is an annual fundraising campaign launched by the Testicular Cancer Foundation. Every November, participants across the country grow out their mustache, beard, or goatee for 30 days to spark conversations about men's health and raise critical funds for testicular cancer awareness.

Originally popular with law enforcement and first responders, Beard Patrol has grown into a nationwide movement that welcomes everyone—whether you can grow a full lumberjack beard or just a few whiskers, your participation makes a difference.

As a firefighter and testicular cancer survivor, Beard Patrol gave me a way to turn my experience into something positive. Growing my beard for 30 days sparked so many important conversations with my crew and helped raise thousands for TCF. One less, still blessed.
