For the second year in a row, the Racine County Sheriff’s Office provided its staff a chance to grow some facial hair for a good cause.
Starting in October, over 60 deputies and corrections officers gave a donation to the Women’s Resource Center in Racine in order to grow a beard, which is normally prohibited. The minimum to donate was $75, but some gave more.
Earlier this month, the sheriff’s office provided the center a check for $4,700.

“Our deputies, corrections officers and support staff wanted to do something special for the community again this year,” says Sheriff Christopher Schmaling. “I know that your needs are endless. The cause and the victims are real.”
