Crowns Against Cancer does an amazing job of bringing joy to our wig recipients at events throughout the year, like our Lucky 21st Annual Gala and Annual Children's Holiday Party. They enjoy being part of our princess tea party area, mingle & take photos with the kids and dance at the end of the events! Children are able to meet their favorite princesses and superheroes in a fun, family-friendly setting. We thank Crowns Against Cancer for their continued support of Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan.
