The Follicles of the James presented the 1st Ever Mid-Atlantic Beard & ‘Stache Competition on March 3, 2012 at Richmond’s very own Strange Matter, with all proceeds going to the Central Virginia Food Bank.
With your help, we were able to collect nearly 250 pounds of food and raised $1,400! That money alone can feed over 6 people 3 square meals a day for an entire year. Thank you.
A short documentary of the event was filmed by Joe Palmer:
