$276,861 raised for Wig Wednesday in 2023
Thank you so much to everyone who took part in Wig Wednesday this year!
It was an incredible month, with so many people getting together with their school, workplace or community to raise funds and awareness for the tamariki who lose their hair during cancer treatment.
Thanks to the hard work and generosity of our fundraisers, a whopping $276,861 was raised throughout the month – a new Wig Wednesday record! What an amazing effort – the funds will make a real difference for Kiwi families impacted by childhood cancer.
