The 12th Annual Pigs 4 Wigs Initiative has begun! Local police departments in Michigan are participating in "No-shave November." Officers pay $50.00 and can raise additional funds so they can avoid shaving; monies are then donated to Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan to provide wigs and support services at no charge to local children experiencing hair loss. We're grateful for all of the police departments that are participating! Pigs 4 Wigs runs from November 1 - December 1 each year and so far, St. Clair Shores, Sterling Heights, Wolverine Lake and Lathrup Village are in the lead of this friendly competition! To learn more and contribute to this campaign, please visit: https://www.wigs4kids.org/how-you-can-help/pigs-4-wigs.html If you know of a police department that would like to sign up, please contact Maggie Varney, our Founder & CEO at: 586-772-6656 or maggie@wigs4kids.org
