CONWAY — A beard-growing effort by the Conway PD has been a "smashing" success both in terms of generating donations and awareness of the Child Advocacy Center, said Police Chief Chris Mattei and CAC Executive Director Elizabeth Kelley-Scott, adding there is still time to donate.

During the October fundraiser, participating officers, dispatchers and staff sought sponsors online to either grow beards or dye their hair blue.
