In honor of National Girl Scout Day, we want to shine a light on our Girl Scouts Volunteer program! Girl Scouts has partnered with Wigs for Kids to support our mission by helping children regain their confidence after illness-causing hair loss.
We hope this program helps young women and girls get involved by learning more about the illnesses that cause hair loss and making a real difference through volunteering, fundraising, donating hair, and salon outreach.
Those who choose to participate can request a patch, for a small fee, to wear proudly as a symbol of their philanthropic contribution.
Our most recent Girl Scout donation is from 10-year-old Cassie in California! Her mom shared with us, “Acts of kindness fill the heart with overwhelming joy, especially when you put a smile on someone’s face!”
We’re thrilled to welcome you to the Wigs For Kids family, Cassie!
