Heartfelt thanks to our friends at: Crum & Forster for this #FeelGoodFriday post!
"It's another #feelgoodfriday here at C&F and this week we're celebrating Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan, Inc. Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids, is a grassroots non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides wigs and support services at no charge to children and young adults experiencing hair loss due to cancer, alopecia, trichotillomania, burns and other disorders. Wig recipients, also known as Ambassadors, range in age from 3 to 18, and are located throughout Michigan.
Renee VanderHagen, C&F's Director & Coverage Counsel, S&S Litigation, nominated Maggie's to receive funding from C&F’s Charitable Impact Committee (CIC), an employee-based group that provides donations to the organizations in the communities where C&F’s employees live and work.
"Maggie Varney, Founder & CEO of Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids is a perfect example of how 'the power of one' makes a difference," said Renee. "Her work has been 'all for the kids' and their families going through a challenging time. Thank you C&F for helping!"
