“It was never about the Beard”
B4B Fundraising Campaign
Law enforcement agencies show their support for their local Child Advocacy Centers throughout the Granite State by participating in our only Annual Statewide fundraiser for New Hampshire CACS.
We are getting ready for our tenth year with a few changes to our fundraising efforts, but one thing remains the same- law enforcement throughout the Granite State supporting their local CAC. We have another big goal this year of $250,000 and can only get there with your help.
A fun and easy way to support your local
Child Advocacy Center (CAC).
Why it matters to your Child Advocacy Center?
Each law enforcement agency and individual officer who participate make a tremendous difference for their own community CAC. The money raised through their efforts goes directly to the local CAC to continue the work of the Multidisciplinary team and collective efort to help the most vulnerable of victims of abuse, children.

Where did the Beards go this year?
What began with one officer raising money for one CAC has now become a statewide fundraising campaign, earning $215,000 last year alone! The passion and dedication of CAC staff and law enforcement partners has made this happen, raising funds for kids and families that would otherwise be unavailable. With many law enforcement partners allowing beards now, we have said “good bye” to the Razorless for a Reason and replaced it with “It was never about the Beard!” It was about what we achieve together at local CACs across the Granite State.
Maybe the best thing about B4B dollars is that unlike other funding sources, there are no restrictions for the donations made through this campaign. These funds can and have been used to improve the CAC and the MDT’s ability to provide a safe, trauma informed, and supportive environment for the children and families who come through our doors. This may mean anything from purchasing a new Keurig for the family waiting area to contributing to the development of behavioral health services at a center.
Join Law Enforcement Agencies as they support local Child Advocacy Centers (CAC) around New Hampshire. B4B is a fun and exciting fundraiser where law enforcement officers are allowed to where our pin (and still grow a beard if they want) to seek donations in October to support their local CAC.
A Tribute to the Beards
If you noticed a new look on a familiar faces during October, know it was in support of your local Child Advocacy Center. This tribute and thank you video highlights the statewide efforts from Beards for Bucks – Razorless for a Reason campaign. Over 625 officers and 68 law enforcement teams were able to wear facial hair or dye hair blue throughout the month while encouraging public donations to support Child Advocacy Centers. Since 2015, raising 1.4 million dollars. We can not thank you enough!
