CLEVELAND — Things got a bit hairy at WKYC for the last few weeks -- but the No-Shave November journey is coming to an end today for 3News' Dave Chudowsky and Jay Crawford.
Both Chudowsky and Crawford went beard-to-beard throughout the month to help a good cause.
“I’ve never done this before," Chudowsky told 3News' Hollie Strano when he first took on the task back on Nov. 8. "I have never had a full beard, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. But again, all for a great cause.”
Their beard-growing efforts were done to help raise money for A Special Wish Foundation and their "No Shave No Trim WishVember." All the money raised during the campaign will help grant a wish for a child from the A Special Wish Foundation who is battling a life-threatening disease.
Throughout the last 30 days, 15 local police departments and 3News helped raise more than $31,000 for the cause.
A Special Wish is currently helping to care for more than 300 children across Northeast Ohio.

The local initiative with various Northeast Ohio police departments began in 2017.
We streamed live video of the moment Chudowsky's beard was finally shaved, which you can watch in the player below:
