Help Make History One Ponytail at a Time!

On September 27, 2026, hairstylists and hair donors from across the nation will unite for the Big Daddy Hair Repo Cut-A-Thon, a record-breaking effort benefiting Wigs For Kids.

Led by Wigs For Kids volunteer stylist Jenna Elliot, this nationwide event aims to bring together hundreds of donors for a single day of giving, compassion, and community support. This is a mass ponytail drive with stylists all over our nation coming together to collect 394 pounds of hair! Sign up to donate your hair and support a child with their hair loss journey.

Every ponytail tells a story. Every donation helps a child regain confidence. And every participant becomes part of something bigger than themselves.

Supporting Our Mission

Wigs For Kids provides high-quality hairpieces at no cost to eligible children experiencing hair loss. Because every hairpiece is made-to-order and can cost more than $2,600 to produce, community support and hair donations are essential to helping children regain confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of normalcy during difficult medical journeys.

Can’t Donate Hair?

Supporters are also encouraged to make a monetary contribution during the event. Donations can be made online.  Each donation helps Wigs For Kids continue providing hair replacement systems free of charge to children and families in need.

We hope you’ll join us on September 27 as we come together to make a difference in the lives of children nationwide through the gift of hair and hope.
