Mission Statement
It is the goal of Hairs 2 U Wig Bank to assist uninsured and underinsured women and children affected by illnesses that cause hair loss. We endeavor not only to provide wigs and an education in their specialized care and maintenance, but also to give these women and children the opportunity to regain their confidence and dignity in the face of their difficult journeys. Sickness does not take care to kindly avoid small children, or senior citizens, or adults in their prime. It hits and it devastates. We cannot prevent it, but we can help become part of the cure.
Description
Hairs 2 U Wig Bank, incorporated as a 501 (C)(3) not-for-profit organization addresses the needs of women with illnesses and treatment related hair loss. Hairs 2 U work with all hospitals to vet and fill out our patient forms to provide the wig. We have given hundreds and now looking to make it thousands. We have an annual fundraising Wig-Walk the third week in October and other events through out the year. We are always looking for new ideas.
