Michigan COVID Pause Update: We want to thank all of our kids & families, guests, clients, donors and volunteers for your understanding as we refrain from giving tours of our new Wellness Center. 50% of our kids have cancer and with their compromised immune systems, the rising COVID cases in our state, and being respectful of the pause for the next 3 weeks, we find it necessary to postpone the tours. We are proud of our new facility and enjoy sharing it with people - we welcome you to return when this has subsided. For our hair donors, you may either mail your hair donation in or drop it off at the door. To our volunteers, we can reassess volunteering after the first of the year. Please sign up for our newsletters so you can stay abreast of everything going on at our program. Thank you! https://www.wigs4kids.org/newsletter-sign-up.html
