 EBut the most important reason we gather is much bigger than trophies…Cha
 rity. This year\, Beards On Main is proud to raise awareness and support f
 or families impacted by Niemann-Pick Disease.Niemann-Pick Disease is a rare
  genetic condition that affects families in many different ways. Some forms
  impact children early in life\, while others progress differently over tim
 e.Behind every diagnosis is… A family.A story.A fight. Our mission is t
 o stand beside those families\, raise awareness\, and remind them they are 
 not fighting alone. Because at Appalachian Bearded Mafia\, our purpose has
  never been measured by the length of a beard or the size of a trophy…It
 ’s measured by the lives we touch along the way. So come join us in…As
 hland\, O-H-I-O!!~ Bring the beard you may win trophies.~ Bring a hot rod y
 ou may win trophies.~ Bring a motorcycle you may win trophies.~ Bring the f
 amily make the memories. Come for the beards… stay for the fun!Family. C
