Application Encourages Citizens to Vote on
Gov. Bevin’s Facial Hair to Benefit a Good Cause
Gov. Bevin recently launched an online donation application that
provides citizens of the Commonwealth an opportunity to donate to
the First Lady’s #WeAreKY foundation while simultaneously voting on
Gov. Bevin’s next beard style or become clean shaven.
Shave or Grow (https://governor.ky.gov/shaveorgrow/) allows
Kentuckians to donate a minimum of $1.00 (equal to one vote) to
benefit the First Lady’s #WeAreKY foundation, a foundation
dedicated to the betterment of the lives of Kentucky’s children
through education, promotion and financial support of organizations
supporting children in foster care. Citizens can go online to vote
for their favorite beard style: The Samson, the Anchorman, the Fu
Manchu, the Colonel or the Clean Shave. Once the voting is finished
and the final donation amounts (votes) are calculated, Gov. Bevin
will tailor his beard to whichever style receives the highest
number of donations.
Kentucky Interactive, LLC (aka Kentucky.gov), in partnership
with the Governor’s Office, supported the initiative by providing
an online voting and donation service for shave or grow voters.
From computer to mobile phone, access to the online service is
supported across multiple devices, giving users a chance to vote
for their favorite style and donate to a worthy cause through a
secure mobile-friendly platform. “Voters” can check back regularly
at https://governor.ky.gov/shaveorgrow/ and see the running total
of donations for each beard style. Working with the Governor’s
team, Kentucky Interactive was honored to engage on this initiative
and deliver this service for the Governor’s Office and the First
Lady’s Foundation.
“We appreciate Kentucky Interactive’s work to make the
Governor’s ‘Shave or Grow' application come to life,” said
Elizabeth Kuhn, Communications Director for Gov. Bevin. “This
innovative app provides Kentuckians with a fun, user-friendly
experience while empowering them to easily donate to a very
important cause — supporting the Commonwealth’s foster care and
adoption programs through First Lady Glenna Bevin’s #WeAreKY!
Foundation.”
The Governor’s Shave or Grow Online Donation application was
developed under a self-funded model, at no cost to Kentucky
taxpayers. The solution joins over 400 convenient digital solutions
created for the Commonwealth of Kentucky through its eGovernment
partnership with Kentucky Interactive, LLC.
The application will remain open to the public until Wednesday,
Oct. 10 at 11 a.m. ET and can be accessed via the Governor’s
website: https://governor.ky.gov/ShaveOrGrow.
