On Tuesday, November 27, the UAB Department of Pathology, Department of Urology, Division of Gastroenterology and Division of Hematology/Oncology joined forces to host a No Shave November event in honor of Men’s Health Awareness Month.

Physicians and staff throughout the School of Medicine put down their razors for a month to raise awareness for some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health. Treadwell Barbershop and A New U Barber & Style helped shave it all off while attendees enjoyed the photo booth, refreshments and prizes donated by local businesses.

Pathology faculty Drs. George Netto, Daniel Dye, Sooryanarayana Varambally, and Upender Manne, plus several staff and others too part in the event by growing out their facial hair and contributing funds to the cause. Money raised by the department will be donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
