About Pink Beards
Founder, Michael Compton, dyed his beard for breast cancer in 2010 and it dawned on him that others might want to make the same statement. The first event was held on October 27, 2010 in both Panama City and Springfield, OH. Compton has goals to make this cause and the event nationwide.

I really don’t understand the point of all this.. Yeah, sure we’re raising awareness. Why can’t it just be cancer awareness? Pretty sure that prostate cancer is the most common type. Where is the yellow beards and ribbons?

Yes, we need to support this cause and the other cancer causes too! BUT, I do love the fact that “real men”, as they call themselves, are willing to die their beards pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month!
