 In addition to supporting local charities here in Richmond, we road trip around the country to help other facial hair clubs support the charities in their hometowns. As the largest facial hair club in the region, we act as ambassadors while on the road, showing friends and spectators alike what great people (fuzzy or not) there are in Richmond and in our home state of Virginia. If you'd like to know how the League supports active members, read our Travel By-laws. We’ve also been known to take home a medal or two in the process. Below is a list of past competitions we’ve participated in, and the charities benefited. |
