Go Cavaliers! Wigs 4 Kids Founder & CEO Maggie Varney had the opportunity to reach out to the staff and students of South Lake High School who are ongoing supporters of our program. Over 600 students filled the auditorium to learn more about how they too can make a difference for the children in our communities. South Lake will be hosting a cut-a-thon and volleyball tournament fundraiser in 2017 for Wigs 4 Kids, along with selling paper stars for a donation. We're excited to have their love and support in the year ahead!
