Wig Wednesday 2026
Wed 16 September
Wear a wig this September and raise funds to support Kiwi kids with cancer! Pick a day, a week or fundraise all month.
When kids with cancer go through treatment, they often need to brave the world with no hair.
Wig Wednesday is a fun day in September where schools, workplaces and community groups can show their support for these awesome tamariki.
Taking part is easy! Simply wear a wig, style a funky hairdo or even shave your head, while raising money for Child Cancer Foundation.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and we’ll be raising funds and awareness all month long.
The national event date is Wednesday 16 September 2026, but you can choose any day in September that works for you!
Every dollar you raise will go directly towards supporting Kiwi kids with cancer and their families through the toughest time in their lives.
