Join Us for No Shave November!

The Irvington Police Department is proud to participate in our annual No Shave November! This month-long journey encourages participants to forgo shaving to raise awareness for various cancers.

This year, we're supporting the American Thyroid Cancer Association, focusing on thyroid health, research, education, and awareness. One of our own, Officer Estefania Mejia, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer earlier this year. With remarkable courage, she has undergone surgery and treatments and is doing well!

We invite our community to join us in this important cause. Every donation counts and will make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. Thank you for your support!

When I was 7 years old, I was diagnosed with an Autoimmune Thyroid Disease. While I am fortunate to have a treatable condition, it is not always easy. Over the last 5 years I have had a lot of medical tests, blood draws, and trials on various medication doses. Our Thyroid controls our body's metabolism, so when my Thyroid is not working, I have issues with growth, I cannot gain weight, I am very tired and I often get irritable. I hope that someday people will not have to live with Thyroid problems.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit the American Thyroid Association, Inc., and any donation will help create an impact. I bet you did not know that our Thyroid is the shape of a butterfly? I have made some beautiful butterfly bracelets, and every donation will receive one of my homemade creations! Thank you so much in advance for your contribution to this this cause that is so very close to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and Thyroid!!) for supporting my journey and Bat Mitzvah Project! With much love, Shira

Hi guys, as most of you are aware, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disorder where your body attacks your thyroid. In honor of this, I would like to raise some money for research to be done and help spread awareness on this disease.
