Cape Beard: Follicles of Freedom, Beard & Mustache Club
Cape Beard is a non-profit Beard & Moustache Club of Fayetteville NC who have been promoting the accolades of facial hair since 2011. Our members, specializing in many trades, utilize their various skills to better our local community. With increased support within our city we are gaining momentum with each charity event. It is our families, local-businesses, and you – our friends that enable us to accomplish our successes.
