No Shave November™ Rules
No Shave November™ Rules
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.
Here’s how it works, what it means, and some of the “rules” of No Shave month.
What is “No Shave November™?”
No Shave is a fundraising campaign built to support cancer education and awareness. This November, we’re asking everyone to let their hair grow, raise awareness, and help fund cancer advocacy, education, and research. Pledge the dollars you’d normally spend on grooming and hair care to support the cause. Whether you grow a beard, sport a mustache, or simply skip a few grooming routines, your participation makes a difference. Together, we can build a vibrant community committed to change—one hair at a time.
What are the rules?
The rules are simple for No Shave: don’t shave. Now, some people will tell you to not shave anything. Others say to avoid shaving a certain area. Here’s what we say: Do what works for you. For men, growing facial hair is the most obvious way to participate. For women, growing leg hair is the most common way we’ve seen ladies join in.
Some groups encourage you to donate the cost of razors, shaving cream, gels, and haircuts during November. Others say to start a personal fundraising campaign.
The great thing about No Shave is that you can make it what you want it. But, if you’re doing No Shave November™ with a team, make sure you all agree on how it will work.
How do I sign up?

What causes does No Shave November™ support?
When you create or donate to a fundraising page, you’re directly fueling the mission of Man Up to Cancer, Prevent Cancer Foundation, and Fight Colorectal Cancer.

Each partner will receive 100 percent of the funds raised through their own pages, plus a portion of the total campaign.
