Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan held a virtual gala in September to raise money for their programs. The organization raised over $100,000 to provide wigs and support services for kids with hair loss.
The virtual gala enabled Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids to keep their children and supporters safe from a large gathering that could put them at risk of contracting COVID-19. Children being treated for cancer and other health conditions are particularly vulnerable to the virus due to weakened immune systems.
Maggie Varney, Wigs 4 Kids Founder and CEO said, “This was our most successful year yet raising funds at our virtual gala. Thank you to all of the people who opened their hearts and wallets to continue to support our program.”
One of the newest additions to the services at Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids is a raised therapy garden where kids can learn about herb and vegetable gardening and take part in healthy meal planning and cooking classes.
