Tickets for all performances are currently available, and organizers note that additional shows may be announced as Cape May continues to expand its 2026 entertainment offerings.

Cape May Police Launch “No-Shave November: March Edition” to Support Officer’s Family in Cancer Fight

The Cape May Police Department is organizing a month-long fundraiser called “No-Shave November: March Edition 2026” to support Patrolman Stephen Scheer and his family during a difficult medical battle. The initiative will run from March 1 through March 31, 2026, with officers participating by growing out their facial hair and redirecting money normally spent on shaving and grooming toward donations. The fundraiser is dedicated to helping Stephen Scheer’s father, who is currently fighting squamous cell carcinoma. Organizers hope the effort will help relieve some of the financial strain associated with cancer treatment while also showing the family that they have the support of both the department and the community. Participants are encouraged to contribute a minimum donation of $50, although larger donations are welcomed. Community members who wish to help can also donate throughout the month. All collected funds will go directly to the Scheer family. Donations can be made by check to the Cape May Police Department Welfare Fund, with “No-Shave November/March” written in the memo line. Contributions may be mailed or delivered to the Cape May Police Department at 643 Washington Street in Cape May. The department plans to present the funds to the Scheer family by April 1, 2026, following the conclusion of the fundraiser.
