The Batavia Police Department has closed out the Mo-Vember / Don’t Shave December campaigns for 2017.
The department was able to raise $1,320.00 for Genesee Cancer Assistance during “Mo-Vember”.
“Don’t Shave December” raised over $600.00 for Genesee County Sheriff’s Jail Deputy Nicholas Bender and his family.
“The police have been supportive in our mission to raise money for cancer patients in Genesee County and we are very thankful,”says Sue Underwood, Executive Director of Genesee County Cancer Assistance.
The Batavia Police Department will continue to raise funds for Deputy Bender until January 15th. Their goal is $1,000.
To make a donation to the Bender Family, stop by the front desk at the Police Department during business hours.
Members of the department would like to thank the community for their support and donations.
The Mo-Vember Worldwide Campaign started in 2003 in Australia and has since grown. Mo-vember was started to bring awareness to Men’s Health; specifically, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
