Each year the Holy City Beard and Moustache Society hosts the Southeastern Beard & Moustache Championships, and all proceeds go to the Center for Women’s charity called Lowcountry Women with Wings.

Since our founding in 2007, the Holy City Beard and Moustache Society has raised over $30,000 for Center for Women.

In short:  It's awesome and it's all for a great cause.

Thanks y'all for coming!
