Hey guys! I wanted to bring to your attention a great cause for women. YAPA is back again for our 3rd annual BEARDS FOR BO***ES campaign! We're making this November a month to remember. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center and we've already raised $2,500! There is also a great article from the Press Citizen about our campaign.

But remember, you don't need hair to care ;)
