All it took was a little help from a caring community.<\/p>\n

Last month, Terra Phelps and Jeana Hoyt, and via Owego\u2019s Community Shop located at 106 North Ave. in Owego, coordinated efforts with the Owego Police Department to sell mustache mugs and glasses as part of a fundraiser for \u201cNo Shave November.\u201d  <\/p>\n

According to the Owego Police Department\u2019s Facebook page, Village Police Officers joined other police departments in the area to take part in \u201cNo Shave November,\u201d and as a way to put the spotlight on cancer awareness.<\/p>\n

Phelps remarked, \u201cProceeds from the mug sales benefited a Tioga County Sheriff that is undergoing cancer treatments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phelps thanks the local community for their generosity. Over $500 was raised and was matched by the Owego Police Benevolent Association.<\/p>\n

But not just any mug, the mustache mug itself has a story-behind-the-story.  <\/p>\n

Phelps explained that her grandfather, Donald Seaver, Sr., and going back a generation to 1960 as the owner of the Community Shop for 25 years, sported an iconic mustache. He was actually well known for that mustache, and had also battled cancer. The senior Seaver passed away in 2015 and is remembered for his community-mindedness. Donald \u201cDavid\u201d and Jody Seaver have operated the popular neighborhood staple since 1985.   <\/p>\n

When considering options on how to design the mug, Phelps realized photographs she had wouldn\u2019t quite work for transferring an image. So she reached out to local artist, Michelle McLaren, and asked if she could create an original sketch or watercolor of Seaver\u2019s face to be used on the mugs.  <\/p>\n

McLaren\u2019s artistic talent resulted in a remarkable likeness of Seaver. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe mustache mug was a hit and then sold quickly,\u201d said Phelps, and further shared that she has since received inquiries for more mug purchases.<\/p>\n

Phelps also commented that an additional fundraiser is in the works for the month of December. Stop by the Community Shop for details. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
