Early Growth
Since its creation in 2011, the
nonprofit's core beliefs mirror
those of official beard clubs from
generations before, but belonging
to the club is more than a badge of
being a gentlemen and an indication
of masculinity. Cape Beard takes it
one step further: they also show their
neighbors a basic level of respect and
offer a helping hand to those in need.
Once established as an official
beard club, Cape Beard began
collecting donations from its
members for merchandise and
general funds. ey came across a
friend who had been in a motorcycle
accident and needed help getting on
her feet. Club President and local
tattoo artist Johnny "Awesome"
Ivey says the club immediately and
unanimously decided to give the
collected money to their friend
instead. Once this initial donation
was made, the club became less
of a stunt and developed into the
nonprofit that it is today. Johnny
Awesome explains, "at event fueled
our passion to help our neighbors.
We all felt it."
From there, the club focused on
only raising money for organizations
within Cumberland County, to keep
funds circulating closer to home. "We
don't know how it happened, but it
became a brotherhood," Steve Brack
Vice President of the club described.
e club notably donates 100% back
to their causes. In 2016, Cape Beard
even received an official proclamation
from Mayor Nat Robertson deeming
May 14 as "Cape Beard Day."
And although one of the few
requirements of Cape Beard is to have
facial hair nine months out of the
year, (along with a strict "no Crocs
policy"), the bearded brotherhood
is more interested in members'
