Next month, if you see a police officer on Long Beach Island sporting some extra chin growth, don’t be surprised. All Island police departments are participatingin the”No Shave November” campaign, which is aimed at bringing awareness and funding for cancer prevention, education and research.

The agencies arepartnering with David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation. Based in Stafford Township, the foundation is a nonprofit organizationthat raises funds to provide financial assistance, wellness services and hope to families affected by a cancer diagnosis.

“Having the officers in this campaign is huge for us,” said Danielle Corso, foundation executive director.
