This event will make a stop during the NASCAR San Diego Weekend on Naval Base Coronado, where the brand operates a mobile barbershop offering free beard trims to attendees. For each complimentary trim performed at this event, Wahl has committed to donating $100 to [Operation Warrior Wishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/operation-hero-tribute) — a charitable organization that enables veterans to attend professional sporting events at no cost. The brand caps the total donation at $5,000. The Wahl Benevolent Beards Tour is part of a larger nationwide contest also named the Wahl Benevolent Beards Contest, which invites men with facial hair to submit videos explaining how they support a registered nonprofit organization. Finalists receive cash prizes and grooming equipment, while the grand prize winner earns $5,000 for themselves and $20,000 for their chosen charity, along with a visit from the [Wahl mobile barbershop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benevolent-beards-contest) for a community grooming event.
