AMAZING
Six years after the San Francisco chapter was founded, we had our biggest competition yet. More than 80 growers. More than $22,000 raised for Breakthrough Collaborative. But we know you want to know who won. 

Well, here's one of the winners. Pierre Stroud. No idea what his name was on the big night--but he is the rightful owner of the moniker "Sweetest 'Stache of 2007": 

And winning the title of "Biggest Earner" for the second consecutive year: Gabe Adiv (in costume as G-Roadie, or "Groadie"). This amazing mensch raised over $4400! We don't know how he did it, but we are so grateful that he was a part of the fundraiser--for so many reasons. (And remember, if you need a grip or a rigger, Gabe's your man!).

Once again, extra special thanks to all the generous and good-humored growers for participating in this year's event. Also thank you to our donors The Art of Shaving, The Barber Lounge, MR., Spargo, Bolsa Bonita, Kitty Kitty Bang Bang, and the Rickshaw Stop. Big ups to our final event judges too: Tracie Broom, Frank O'Barski and Kenny Taylor.

If you missed the event or were there and want a momento to further savor the memories, please check out this online gallery of photos you can order from the night of: photo gallery.
