Shaving for a cause: Beard-shaving fund-raiser for Beach Elementary

Growing his lovely beard out for quite sometime, local cab driver Fernando Rodriguez is ready to buzz it all off for a good cause Friday, March 27.
During the times of 3 to 6 p.m. Friday, a fund-raiser will be held at the Surf Club to raise as much money as possible for Beach Elementary.
At the end of the benefit, Fernando will buzz his beard and hair off right there on the spot.
Late Wednesday evening, two visiting women from out of town overheard the upcoming benefit, reached in their pocketbooks and instantly donated $95.
“One of the things we’re working on is to try to get another SmartBoard,” said Renee Mulloy, Beach Elementary School secretary. “Right now we only have three. They’re very expensive. So, whatever Fernando receives during the fund-raiser will go toward the purchase of another one. It’s a phenomenal tool. They’re really helping out the school and it’ll be a really fun event.”
During the fund-raiser, plenty of 50/50 raffles and prizes will be awarded, and this is also the perfect time to celebrate Fernando’s 60th birthday.
Also, this is your chance to nominate a friend to receive a buzzcut for charity. Sometime before the benefit is over, Fernando will buzz off his longtime facial friend.
