Hilliard police officers put away their razors for a good cause at the end of 2021. The Division was among several central Ohio law enforcement agencies participating in the Movember Challenge.
In exchange for a $100 donation each month, male officers could grow a beard, goatee or moustache and female officers could paint their fingernails any color.
In total, the Division raised more than $3,500 for The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Centerโs Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
โThe fight against cancer has hit close to home for many of us,โ said Officer Brandon Long, who organizes the effort on behalf of HPD. โMorale was definitely high for this yearโs two-month challenge.โ
Since the start of this fundraiser, nearly $85,000 has been raised by the law enforcement agencies.
