Some Beards Are Worth Sacrificing
The $50K Shave
After years of carefully cultivated growth — a beard that has weathered countless seasons and more unsolicited beard oil advice than anyone asked for — it’s finally on the line. We’re setting out to raise $50,000 for two causes we care deeply about. And once we hit the goal… the beard comes off.
Our Story
Shave For a Cause
I couldn’t think of a better way to sacrifice years of dedication to the beard than to support two organizations doing vital work. This is more than a fundraiser. It’s a chance to make real impact — and be part of a milestone moment.
Let’s raise $50,000 and support two amazing causes:
DADCAMP
An organization I believe in deeply.
Food 4 Souls
One my wife loves and supports wholeheartedly.
Once we raise $25,000 for each charity, I’ll return to that baby face look.
And there’s one more twist: The largest donor overall gets the honor of doing the shaving.
In whatever setting you’d like with whatever tools you need, you get to be the one to take it all off. It’s a rare and prestigious opportunity, so if you’ve ever dreamed of shaving a beard in front of an audience for a great cause, now’s your chance.

DADCAMP
When Dads Win, Families Win
DADCAMP isn’t just a weekend getaway. It’s a movement that’s helping fathers reconnect, rebuild, and lead their families with purpose. Imagine a dad sitting around a campfire with his child, phones off, distractions gone, listening, laughing, and realizing how much influence he has on shaping a life. Now imagine that dad walking away from that experience with a renewed commitment to be present, lead with love, and break cycles that might have stretched back generations.
That’s what DADCAMP does — it transforms men, one story, one family at a time. They host camps across the country and globally, reaching thousands of dads and kids who leave forever changed.
Your donation helps make that kind of transformation possible — especially for families who couldn’t otherwise afford it.
Let’s equip more fathers to lead strong and love well.
“I thought I was doing fine as a dad — until my son looked me in the eye and said, ‘This was the first weekend I had all of you.’”
— Brian, DADCAMP attendee
For many dads, DADCAMP is the wake-up call they didn’t know they needed. It’s not about guilt or pressure — it’s about presence. When dads step out of their routines and into intentional time with their kids, real change happens.
“We came to DADCAMP quiet and awkward. We left hugging, laughing, and planning our next ‘just us’ night.”
— Marcus, single father of a teenage daughter
This isn’t just about campfire chats — it’s about equipping men to lead with vulnerability, humility, and strength. Your support helps support this ministry and provide scholarships for families in need, while expanding this life-shaping work globally.

Food 4 Souls
Restoring Dignity on the Streets
Every Sunday, rain or shine, Food 4 Souls hits the streets of Central Indiana with more than just a hot meal. They bring humanity. They remember names. They listen to stories. They offer socks, hygiene kits, warm hugs, and prayer. But most importantly — they create relationships that can lead to real change.
It’s not uncommon to see someone who’s been overlooked and invisible for years finally take the steps toward housing, recovery, or stability… because a team of volunteers consistently showed up and treated them like they mattered.
And if this beard has given me perspective on anything, it’s the importance of showing up for people in meaningful, tangible ways — exactly what Food 4 Souls does every single week.
Every dollar helps provide meals, supplies, and long-term connections to those facing homelessness.
Let’s meet them with dignity, one soul at a time.
“I used to be invisible. Now, every Sunday, someone remembers my name.”
— Rita, living on the streets of Indy
That’s what Food 4 Souls is about — showing up consistently to serve and see the people often passed by. They’re not just handing out meals; they’re building trust, friendships, and pathways to hope.
“They brought me food when I hadn’t eaten in three days. But what really filled me was someone asking, ‘How can I pray for you?’”
— Anthony, now off the streets and volunteering with the team
Your donation helps provide food, clothing, hygiene kits, and connection — and makes moments like these possible.

$0 of $50,000 Raised
We’re putting the beard on the line — but only if we reach our $50,000 goal. Every dollar raised helps support two incredible organizations: DADCAMP and Food 4 Souls. Once we hit $25,000 for each, the beard comes off. And the best part? The top donor gets the honor of doing the shaving.
Pick a cause. Give what you can. Spread the word. Rally your people. And get ready for the most meaningful shave of the year.
Thank You For Your Support
A Note from Our Founder
Because of your generosity, encouragement, and belief in this mission, we’re making a real and lasting impact. Two incredible organizations — DADCAMP and Food 4 Souls — will move forward with strength and resources, thanks to you.
And as for the epic beard? After years of committed growth, awkward meals, and patient tolerance from my wife, it’s going to be laid to rest for good. So the next time we cross paths, you won’t see the scruff — but you’ll see the smile. Because what we did together here was bigger than just a shave. It was about community, generosity, and doing something good… with a little fun along the way.
Thank you for being part of it. You’ve made a difference — and you’ve made it memorable.
