How
can my community, business, organization or school help?
You can
help a Wigs 4 Kids recipient by participating
in our Adopt-A-Kid Program. You will help a child
or teen become a recipient of a free wig and services.
The cost of sponsoring a Wigs 4 Kids recipient
is $800, each contribution will go directly for the
participant. You will receive a certificate of recognition
for participation in the program, acknowledgment of
your participation in our newsletter, a before and
after photo of the recipient and most importantly,
the gratitude of a child or teen who you have so generously
helped. In addition, we ask each recipient to acknowledge
the sponsors by sending a thank you letter to the
Wigs 4 Kids office and we forward it to the sponsor.
