Host a Fundraiser

Did you know that it takes between 20-30 ponytails to create a wig? We are continuously in need of hair donations. Cut-a-thons provide a tremendous opportunity to spread the word about our work and secure hair donations. Visit the link below to learn more.

Cut-a-thon Information

If you are donating your hair, host a fundraiser by asking your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to pledge so much per inch of hair you donate. We have a very easy online platform that allows you to create your very own fundraising page, share your story and pictures, set your fundraising goal, and provide updates along the way.

Join supporters like Dalia who hosted a Read-a-thon and raised over $3,000. After Dalia’s very good friend was diagnosed with leukemia, she wanted to do something to show support and make an impact. She set out to read a certain number of books in a specific time period (she read 19 books!) in order to raise money. Our online fundraising platform can provide a means for you to collect pledges for an activity such as a Read-a-thon.

Personal Fundraising

Recruit your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors to participate in a coin collection (it adds up quickly!) Provide them with collection boxes (time to get creative), set a timeframe for the drive, set a goal, and get started. This is also a great fundraising activity for organizations, churches and community groups. Set up your fundraiser via our online personal fundraising platform.

Wig Fest was hosted by two sisters who love wigs. They gathered their family and friends for an evening of fun. The event featured a raffle, DJ spinning tunes, food and beverages, and they sold wigs (a wig was required in order to attend the event). They pre-sold tickets and had them for sale at the door. They involved community businesses and to their delight had 200 people in attendance. The sisters raised over $6,000. Get started on a unique fundraiser on our online personal fundraising platform.

Online streaming has become very popular. If you are a streamer, we provide a platform that integrates well with Twitch and YouTube.

A few items to consider for your Charity Stream:

• Let your followers (your community) know that you are hosting a Charity Stream event and ask them to share with their network – bring it to life!
• Consider donating a portion of the money you receive through advertising (if you do)
• If you are donating your hair live, stream your cut to raise awareness, excitement, and monetary donations
• If you are a gaming streamer, host a competition
• Be sure to share the results and thank participants

Join streamers like LavaDaysickle and Commander Xander – who hosted Charity Streams for Wigs For Kids. Lava raised $1,500 through his Charity Stream. He created a “timer” for the automods/bots which helped him in his Twitch chats to post about Wigs For Kids and the fundraiser he hosted. Feel free to utilize our online personal fundraising platform to bring your vision to life.
