The third annual Beard Bros. auction, dubbed Beards and Bands, is going under the clippers on June 1 at Kaleidoscope Theatre.
The evening will have the famous beard auction, where people can purchase the rights to give one of the Bros. a haircut they’ll never forget.
Proceeds from the auction will go towards former Drumheller Composite High School student and two-time cancer survivor Vince Rovere’s Relay for Life efforts.
“Basically, just after High School and then a few years later he survived through cancer twice. He’s campaigned as much as he can ever since,” said Eric Neuman, who is organizing the event.

Phil Wolters and Dan Lambert will let their beards and hair be the canvas for the upcoming Beards and Bands on June 1 at Kaleidoscope Theatre. Proceeds from the event will go towards former Drumheller Composite High student and two time cancer survivor Vince Rovere.
Each participant will sport their new style for 24 hours after the event.
“We’re planning on doing something, like grocery shopping or going to the bar to make people aware of what’s going on,” said Neuman.
After so long with the beard, some of the Beard Bros. are looking forward to being clean shaven.
“I can’t wait. Especially on hot days, my face heats up and remains insulated most of the night,” said Neuman. “I have more beard than most men my age, so people were more enticed to feel it or comment on it.”
Neuman is being joined by Chris Capobianco, Phil Wolters, Ramon Nagesan, and Dan Lambert. Neuman has been preparing for the shave for months.
“I’ve been growing my beard since September 4,” said Neuman. “It’s an extra large canvas this year.”
