SAN JOSE - The San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) are encouraging fans to continue "growing one for the team" throughout the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs 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. In the first-round of the playoffs, Sharks fans raised $6,267. 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 invite family, friends, and business associates to pledge their playoff beards.
