SAN JOSE - The San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) are encouraging fans to “grow one for the team” and participate in one of hockey’s most visible traditions – the playoff beard. The San Jose Sharks Beard-a-thon® is an opportunity for fans to grow their own beard and raise money for charity. Proceeds from the 2016 San Jose Sharks Beard-a-thon will benefit the Sharks Foundation’s (@SharksCare) charitable partner, the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation.
Participants in the San Jose Sharks Beard-a-thon will invite family, friends, and business associates to pledge their playoff beards. By joining the cause, fans pledge to maintain their beard as long as the San Jose Sharks remains in the playoffs.
