Purple Aces team up with Deaconess in “No Shave November”

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Deaconess and the Purple Aces are partnering to raise awareness of men's cancers in conjunction with "No Shave November". A special giveaway is on tap on Saturday when the University of Evansville men's basketball team takes on Morehead State at the Ford Center.

Prior to Saturday's noon contest, 1,000 purple mustaches will be given out to Aces fans to raise awareness of "No Shave November". The initiative encourages men to stop shaving to evoke conversation and raise awareness of prostate and testicular cancer.

"No Shave November" helps raise awareness for men's cancers, specifically prostate and testicular cancers," said Debra Wilson, Director of Deaconess Cancer Services.
