September Wig-Making Workshop-September 8^th

In honor of Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, The Magic Yarn Project and Mat-Su Regional Medical Center are teaming up this September to offer a free wig-making workshop to volunteers interested in creating a soft and whimsical yarn wig for a child battling cancer!

- Our wigs are 100% volunteer made, funded 100% by donations, and are FREE to children around the world.

- We will be creating wigs in the following styles: Anna, Ariel, Aurora, Elsa, Jasmine, Jack Sparrow, Moana, Rainbow, and Rapunzel.

- No previous or crafty experience is required to create a whimsical wig. We will have our "Fairy Godmothers" on hand to instruct you in how to make your wig.

- All supplies are provided--just bring yourself and a friend!

- Each wig takes between 1-2 hours to complete.

- Children younger than 14 should be accompanied by and paired with an adult to create their wig.

- PLEASE RSVP if you plan on attending by clicking on the link to our Eventbrite page below!

- We have a goal of creating 100 wigs throughout the day, so please SHARE this event so others can join in on a day of making magic for children most in need of it.
