Employees with the North Platte Police Department got their beard on to raise money for a young North Platte girl.

Staff and officers held a beard growing contest to raise money for little Zoie Whyte.  Zoie had a near SIDS episode last May which left her with serious complications and mounting medical bills.  Her mother, Kellie, is a Dispatcher with the Police Department.

Officer Levi Gibbs won the award for the Fullest Beard, Officer Brandon Myers won the award for the Softest Beard, Department Pastor Gary Smith won the award for the Grayest Beard and Investigator Roger Freeze won the award for the Best Cropped Beard.

The contest brought in $450.00 for Zoie and her family.
