If you happen to spot a bit of facial hair on Batavia police officers this month, it's not a new grooming trend inspired by the beards of the Boston Red Sox.
Members of the department are growing mustaches this month because November is Men's Health Awareness Month.
Each officer who is participating made a minimum $20 donation to the cause and had to be clean shaven on Nov. 1. The donations will be sent to Genesee Cancer Assistance at the end of the month.
The officers are encouraging area residents to make a similar donation to GCA this month.
