No Shave November has ended! A number of our DA family went without shaving for a month in order to spark conversation and awareness of cancer, as well as to raise money for the American Cancer Society. While the No-Shave event fell short of last year’s total, every little bit helps us get closer to a cancer cure. Thank you to all who supported our effort this year!
