Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan would like to thank our November Facebook & Instagram donors and those who hosted fundraisers or dedicated their birthdays toward helping the kids in our program. Nearly $200 was raised in November, which is the value of providing support services (classes, social activities, field trips & counseling) to a wig recipient & their family for a year. Please join us in acknowledging Chase B. Schurga, Francoise Thomas, our Founder & CEO Maggie Varney, Patrick Drake, Paul Babic and Sonja Kory-Haio.
