So I was chatting with my dad recently about the upcoming November and how we weren't going to shave again per the month's tradition. The subject came up that it might be a neat fundraising idea for cancer research and fun community activity.

Anyway, I wanted to see if this seems like something anyone here might be interested in. I also figured that charities to benefit from this could be both Childs Play (because we all love video games) and an anti-prostate canecr foundation, like the American Cancer Society, Prostate Cancer Foundation, etc.

My thoughts are to setup a facebook page (or similar), and collect $5 from each participant, which in turn gets donated at the end to the charities. The $5 gets your picture on the page along with any status updates showing your increasing beard-burliness. The goal is to earn money to research while having some fun not shaving.

So some questions I have are:
-Does this sound like something you'd do?
-Would you change any of the above or add/remove things to make it better?
-Is the $5 amount appropriate? Am I missing anything?

Let me know what you guys think.
