The Wahl 'Benevolent Beards' contest is a new initiative from the grooming brand focused on encouraging male consumers to do good and show off their facial hair at the same time. The campaign had male consumers send in videos demonstrating the various benevolent acts they've performed, which has resulted in five finalists chosen. The grand prize winner will receive $20,000 for himself and $5,000 for his charity along with the Wahl Man of the Year moniker.
Division Vice President at Wahl Steven Yde commented on the Wahl 'Benevolent Beards' contest saying, "We were blown away by the inspirational entries and loved learning about the positive impact of so many deserving charities. It was incredibly difficult to narrow the finalists down to just five, and we can’t wait to see how the public responds to each of these worthy men.”
