"No-Shave November" is right around the corner, which means it's almost time for the 11th Annual "Pigs 4 Wigs" campaign! Officers at police departments throughout Michigan pay $50.00/person to avoid shaving for the month of November. Monies are then donated to Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan to provide wigs and support services at no charge to local children in need.
Have you previously participated and will be joining us again this year? Contact us for donation forms/flyers/PayPal buttons: 586-772-6656 or maggie@wigs4kids.org
