Seven Franklin County employees participated in a No Shave November contest to support WellSpan Health’s Summit Health Foundation Oncology Bridge Fund, which assists individuals facing financial hardship during cancer treatment. Combined with the county’s monthly “dress down” fundraiser, employees raised $1,950 for the nonprofit.
John Thierwechter of the Commissioners’ Office won the “Fresh Face Challenge,” which required contestants to begin clean-shaven and grow facial hair throughout the month. Charles Martin of Human Resources raised the highest amount among participants.
In the “Mane Masters” category — for those growing existing facial hair — Terry Bookhamer of Adult Probation was named the winner. Other contestants included Matt Foschia of Children & Youth Services, Joel Burkholder of Information Technology Services, Ben Sites of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, and Jason Miller of the Franklin County Department of Emergency Services.
On Wednesday, the Franklin County Commissioners and Human Resources Coordinator Keri Kenney presented the donation to Summit Health Foundation Director Kara Ferraro and WellSpan Cancer Center Director Shendelle Clapper. Thierwechter and Miller also took part in the check presentation.
