This year marked the 18th annual Hair Fair event in Second Life, a charity event collecting donations for Wigs For Kids through purchases made from participants and donations made directly to kiosks. The Hair Fair has partnered with Wigs For Kids since 2010, raising funds and awareness to help children in need.
2024 had an incredible turnout, raising $14,900 to help Wigs For Kids continue to provide hairpieces for children experiencing medical hair loss, at no cost to families in need.
All items sold at Hair Fair by participants in the event donated a minimum of 15% up to 100% to Wigs For Kids. Items sold by the Hair Fair committee (bandanas and Hair Fair Hares) donated 100% to Wigs For Kids. Kiosks at the event donated 100% of proceeds to Wigs for Kids.
Many incredible content creators from all over Second Life participated in this event, where they donated a percentage of every purchase made during this special event.
This annual event held inside of Second Life combines the talents of many hair and hair accessory/props and animation creators. Second Life is a virtual world, and purchases made are only accessible in this environment. However, the hair, accessories, props, and animations featured at this event are used by Second Life residents all throughout the year. It is a wonderful experience that in doing so, they can also help Wigs For Kids.
Thank You to all the talented creators and participants at this event!
You are truly helping our children!
