A special thanks go to Lan from Wigs 4 Kids for choosing to donate her hair after researching our organization online. Lan increased the impact of her giving by making a monetary donation that is in the process of being matched by her employer. This is another wonderful way our supporters can help us continue our mission at Wigs 4 Kids. Does your place of business offer matching gifts? Ask them to get involved in helping a great cause. The Kids Thank You!
