Raising money to contribute to the cause

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
