It’s going to be Friday, October 23rd. The competition starts at 6.30. We're asking you to get there by 5.30 so you can get there, sign up and get ready in position. Again, it will be with our good friends at Rally Cap Brewing Company in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. So, as I said, try to get there by 5.30 to sign in.

We are really asking for folks to sponsor, show up, and show their support. 

We are looking for businesses or individuals who will sponsor the event and help us raise money for the Baton Rouge Animal Shelter.

Check this out right here.

They are referring to this event, which I really like, as Geaux Bearded Third Annual “Hair of the Dog” Beard and Mustache Competition.

I like their write-up too!

This year's event is returning for its third consecutive year as the Hair of the Dog Beard and Mustache Competition. The event is presented by Geaux Bearded, a Baton Rouge-based beard care brand. And this year, the beards are bigger, the mustaches are bolder, and the cause is worth growing for.

This event brings together the best beards, boldest mustaches, most creative facial hair, local businesses, and beard enthusiasts from across the Baton Rouge community for a night of fierce competition, questionable grooming decisions, and a whole lot of fun. 

While the facial hair takes center stage, the real winner is Companion Animal Alliance, Baton Rouge's open intake animal shelter. This event helps raise critical funds to provide shelter, medical care, adoption services, and second chances for thousands of animals in our community.

The Goal of this Beard and Mustache Competition in Baton Rouge

Our goal, here's the goal, I need y'all to help me with this, ladies and gentlemen. It's a worthy cause. Our goal for 2026 is to raise $5,000 to help provide shelter, medical care, adoption services, and second chances for thousands of animals in our community. 

So put your best face forward and join us as an official sponsor. Or share with a business that is interested in supporting this great cause.

We're calling sponsors, calling all sponsors, those of you who can be a part of this, okay? 

Together, we can grow for good and make a meaningful difference for animals in need. 

Once again, Friday, October 23rd, get there by 5 30. The location is Rally Cap Brewery in Baton Rouge, okay? And it's going to be a great time.

Our goal is to raise $5,000. I'll be hitting the streets, giving out the sponsor packets, and asking people to be sponsors for this.

And if you would like to be a sponsor, please email me or message me on Facebook

It's a worthy cause. We want you to be a part of it.

It's going to be a great time. We're going to be giving out medals, gold, silver, bronze medals for the categories. 

October 23rd, don't miss it.
