Tulsa man raising money for world beard competition

Jared Pendergraft has one of the most incredible beards you’ll see.

Pendergraft started the Tulsa Beard and Mustache Club and told KRMG he won eight awards for his facial hair.

Pendergraft, AKA Jrod Rizz, has been working to spread the word about his hopes to enter the World Beard and Mustache Championships in Leogang, Austria this October.

Pendergraft wrote on a GoFundMe page:

“I've got a huge beard. It's very unique, and is known for its density and thickness as well as shape and color. I started going to competitions 3 years ago, and love all my friends that I've made from simply refusing to shave.”
