About Wigs for Kids

Wigs for Kids BC (W4K BC) helps kids living with cancer, live better.

A proudly volunteer-run organization, W4K BC provides funding to cover the cost of custom-made human-hair wigs for children and teens at BC Children's Hospital who have suffered hair loss due to cancer treatment or other serious illnesses. Donations to W4K BC also help families pay for medications and feeding supplies that are essential for treatment but not covered by their medical plan.

When a child has a serious illness it takes an enormous toll on the entire family–both emotionally and financially. The assistance W4K BC provides makes the family's burden a little lighter so they can focus more of their time and energy on caring for their sick child.

By contributing to W4K BC, you are making a tremendous difference in the lives of children living with cancer –and their families–across the province. Thank you for your support.

Wigs for Kids fundraiser

Saturday 6th Jun
So this happened yesterday. ✂️snip snip✂️

I'll be donating my ponytail to the Wigs for Kids charity. This will be my 4th time doing this. They are an organization that makes wigs for children with cancer. It took me about 5 years to grow this 17 inch ponytail (with a few trims in between). 

Much thanks to the wonderful Dave for donating his time and giving me this fresh summer cut! You rock!

If anyone else would like to donate to this great cause, please click on the link below. Besides people donating their hair, the process and time it takes to make a wig is very time consuming. So any amount is greatly appreciated.
