That's right, the men of First Arkansas Bank & Trust are putting down their razors for the month of November in honor of "No Shave November" to benefit Prostate Cancer Awareness. All men participating in the program were asked to donate money to the Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation in order to not shave. Also, to get the ladies involved, they are encouraged to donate $1.00 for the person that they think will have the best (and worst) beards at the end of the month. All money raised will go to the APCF.
In making this announcement, FAB&T Chairman, President and CEO Larry Wilson stated that, "Prostate Cancer will affect about 1 out of every 6 men during some point in their life. In 2011, about 240,890 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed. While these numbers are sobering, it is important to note that early detection can help increase the survival rate and quality of life for men tremendously. We feel it is important as good stewards of our communities to raise awareness of this disease, and that is why we are proud to participate in 'No Shave November."
