FRANKLIN COUNTY – Sheriff Bill Overton announced the 2018 Beards For Charity campaign within the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. Male deputies are allowed to grow and maintain a neat beard for a donation of $100. Female deputies can donate $50 and not wear a neck tie while in uniform with a few exceptions. "For the past several years, our deputies donate to this charity and we are able to give back to our community", Sheriff Overton said. "They enjoy this time of year and we have a lot of fun with it."
