A portion of our proceeds from this event will go to support Wigs for Kids. Wigs for Kids focuses on helping children overcome the effects of hair loss due to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, Alopecia, Trichotillomania, burns and other medical issues. Hair loss can erode a child’s self-confidence and limit them from experiencing life the way children should. Wigs for Kids helps children suffering from hair loss look themselves and live their lives. Go to www.wigsforkids.org to find out more about this wonderful non-profit.

We are also continuing our yearlong campaign to collect food items for the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle.
