HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Art Center is planning some fun with its fundraising as part of Match Day next week.
"We have a campaign going on," said Patrick Calvillo with the Art Center. "It's called Shave the Art Center. We're trying to raise funds and due to the COVID-19 and everybody not being able to go to the barber, go get haircuts, we thought it would make it fun. Our goal total is $12,000. If we raise that, we're going to shave our beards."
That's Calvillo, HHS Art Instructor Darren Morawitz and his father, Mayor Morawitz of Elmer, KS.
"I haven't not had facial hair in about six years," Calvillo said. Mayor Morawitz from Elmer, KS hasn't shaved his beard since 1981. It's been a long time for him. We're kind of excited about that. Hopefully, we reach the $12,000."
If the Art Center reaches $15,000, the trio will also shave their heads.
