Create a Personal Campaign – Make an Impact on a Child’s Life

Thank you for your interest in developing a fundraiser for Wigs for Kids!  Our work depends on the generosity and support of individuals such as yourself.  You can make a tremendous impact on the lives of the children and teens we serve with your fundraising efforts.

Follow these easy steps to your fundraising success!

• Create your personal fundraising page-simply click on Launch Your Campaign
• Complete the form Create Your Own Personal Fundraiser
• Set your goal (keep in mind the average cost of a wig is $1,800)
• Share your story

Here are some ideas:

• Tell people why you have chosen to fundraise for Wigs for Kids
• The #1 reason people give is because someone asks. You raise money when you ask for it-so be sure to ask everyone you know!
• Are you donating your hair (have you in the past) to Wigs for Kids
• Have you personally experienced hair loss or do you know someone who has – sharing your story is important
• If you are donating your hair, share picture(s) of before and after; the current length of your hair; getting your ponytails cut; holding your ponytails

• ​Promote, promote, promote!
  Use social media to share your fundraising efforts, be sure to provide the link to your personal fundraising page.

  • Send emails to your network
  • Create a flyer with your fundraising information and distribute. Ask us, and we can create a QR Code for you to include on a flyer. The QR Code will lead donors directly to your fundraising page.

• Provide updates

  • Be sure to share your success and how close you are to reaching your goal
  • Thank individuals for donating to your fundraiser
  • ​Share when you have reached or surpassed your goal
