The Fraser Department of Public Safety has been involved with our Pigs 4 Wigs campaign since 2019, raising awareness & funds so we can provide more wigs & support services to local children at no charge. We've helped many families from Fraser when their kids were diagnosed with cancer or other disorders resulting in hair loss and it's our honor & privilege to do this important work every day. Sergeant Nagle and his team see the impact our program has and his family has also personally contributed by donating hair! We thank Sergeant Nagle and the Fraser community for the many ways they help us continue our mission.
