Aer Autism spectrum
disorder hit home for several
of the members, Cape Beard
elected to host its inaugural Pig
Pickin' in 2012, raising $2,100
for the cause. Now in its sixth
year, this family-friendly event
is the heart of Cape Beard. In
May, the club raked in upwards
of $13,000 from sponsors,
donations, and sales from
cooking over 1,000 pounds
of pork. All money made
went to e Autism Society of
Cumberland County.
Adding to their calendar
of events, Cape Beard hosts
its annual "Bearded Beauties"
pageant (complete with a
swimsuit, talent, and evening
wear competition) helping to
raise $16,400 from this year's
event benefitting KidsPeace. e club
hosts several other events: "Show Us
Your Cans" (proceeds and provisions
benefiting Second Harvest Food Bank),
"Dunk-a-Beard" (proceeds going
towards Chambers of Hope), and finally
"Beardtoberfest" (a beard and mustache
competition aiding the Karen Chandler
Trust). Club member Doug Cameron
says, "If you need to do something with
your time and means, there's no better
crowd than Cape Beard."

magnitudes of facial hair, think twice

peculiar. ese might be the men that
are defining the core of Fayetteville,
in the most prestigious way possible.
