Beard Fund

Sheriff Plasse began the beard fund when he came to office in January 2019. Each month deputies who have a beard donate $20. Sheriff Plasse and his administration then select different charities or community groups to donate the monthly collection.

Beard collections generally range between $500 and $800 a month. Numerous groups have been donated money including but not limited to; Katy’s Kids, Boys and Girls Club, Phoenix House, Clothe-a-Child, Susie’s Place Child Advocacy Center, Wabash Valley Fair Association, At Francis K-9 Rescue, West Vigo Community Center, 12 points Revitalization Inc., among many others.
