Competitive eater Magic Mitch has traveled the globe conquering food challenges, and now he is challenging his followers to join him in making a difference for Wigs For Kids!
After growing out his hair for over 5 years, he has made the cut — LIVE on stream — and donated it to Wigs For Kids.
What started as a lark during lockdown turned into something more meaningful. Mitch enjoyed playing with different hairstyles as a means of self expression, then something clicked — there are children out there that may not have that same opportunity.
Mitch decided to add meaning to his growth, choosing Wigs For Kids for his donation because he realized the hairpieces we provide not only help restore confidence, they let kids express and embrace their individuality even during challenging times.
Taking his hair donation even further, Mitch set up a fundraiser to help cover production costs for the hairpieces we always provide at no cost to the families we serve, raising over $500 to support our mission!
Want to catch up on the action?
Mitch, Thanks for putting the FUN in fundraising!
