What started as an Instagram page to showcase cool beards and a clothing line in 2014, has evolved into something not even its originator could’ve imagined....On April 10, 2015 the Miami Chapter was born. and with it came their president, Daniel Perez. When the Miami Chapter got together, they wanted to be more than just a brotherhood; they wanted to be a symbol of hope and prosperity. In April 2015, they did their first charity event, which led to them partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to make a three year old leukemia patient’s wish come true. Through this event and the Bearded Villains network, they also found his life-saving donor.
This act of selflessness and love made their chapter the talk of the community, while inspiring fellow Bearded Villain chapters to participate in charity events as well. As the Miami Chapter, they have worked with : Make-A-Wish Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, and Camillus House. We have also participated in several walks such as: Walk to Defeat LS, Autism Walk, Walk to Cure Arthritis, Race for the Cure (Breast Cancer fundraiser) to name some. They have has also been involved with the school system in the Miami-Dade County area by assisting with refurbishing their facilities and collecting back-to-school supplies for inner city kids.With even bigger ambitions and goals set for 2023, Danny quotes, ”Beards have brought us together. Common interests and love for our city has united us. Respect and honor keep us a brotherhood and made us a family. It isn’t about the money or time we’ve donated to charities, it’s the impact an act of kindness has on families, including ours. Serving people who are unable to acquire what they need for whatever reason brings us a sense of purpose every time we are able to deliver.”
