Howard Klein, president of Lanmark 360, plans to raise $10,000 for Sandy victims by not shaving

November 5, 2012

Just in time for No Shave November, Howard Klein, president and owner of Lanmark 360, has initiated a fun and unique fundraiser for the victims of Sandy.

Called the “Shave the Shore” campaign, Klein has promised not to shave his beard until he raises $10,000 for the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts.

He states: “Like most New Jerseyans I am devastated by the damage of Hurricane Sandy and saddened that our beaches are gone. So, as President and Owner of Lanmark360, a healthcare communications firm at the Jersey Shore, what's one to do? Launch a campaign. That campaign is ‘Shave the Shore.’ As founder of this campaign I have pledged NOT TO SHAVE until I raise $10,000 to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Please help me reach my goal at which time I will celebrate with a nice, hot shave at Franks Barber Shop, West Long Branch. I invite others to join the cause by refraining from shaving and setting their own fundraising goals.”

So far, $2,600 has been raised.
