There's an amazing community of facial hair groups all over the country (and the world). We like to travel around to as many charity beard competitions as our schedules and budgets allow. By doing so, our friends then come and visit us here in our own hometown whenever they're in the area and for our annual charity event.
Usually on the last Saturday in April, we hold one of the most exciting charity facial hair competitions in the country: the Mid-Atlantic Beard & 'Stache Championships. It always benefits a local non-profit, and is our big way to give back to the community. Get ready, the Mid-Atlantic Beard & 'Stache Championships 10 is on April 20, 2024!
