From all of us at Wigs.com, we want to say thank you for helping us raise $15,000+ for the Frontline Responders Fund. Watch our CEO, Carliz Moore, deliver a message to our Wigs.com community for helping us make this donation possible.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve all had to adapt to a new way of life. From social distancing to protective masks, our country has truly been tested on the meaning of community.
Community is defined not by our proximity to one another, but more rather the actions we take to stay connected and to help those in need. Everyday, doctors, nurses and hospital staff strive to aid and protect all those at risk of infection. These heroes stand strong at the frontline to fight for our chance at a better future. As this crisis worsens, hospitals face a shortage of masks, gowns and other critical supplies, ultimately leaving healthcare workers vulnerable to infection. Now is the time to take action, our frontline responders need us more than ever.
Frontline Responders Fund
Flexport.org has paired with the Charities Aid Foundation of America to launch a global initiative called the Frontline Responders Fund in support of those who put our lives before their own. Susy Schöneberg, founder of Flexport.org, aims to use their company resources to facilitate the transport of supplies to those who need it most. While masks, gowns and equipment are inexpensive, transporting them is not. Major companies have stepped forward and made large contributions to manufacture these goods, and with our help, Flexport can fulfill their commitment to getting them where they need to go.
In support of Flexport.org’s $10 million goal, Wigs.com pledged to donate 5% of sales from Wednesday, April 22 to Sunday, April 26 to aid our Frontline Responders as they battle this global pandemic. We are pleased to announce that with your help, we raised $15,551.20 over 5 days! THANK YOU! Your contributions helped make all the difference in the fight against COVID-19.

Wigs.com Community
A few of our clients participated in the "Don’t Rush Challenge" and put their own spin on the trend by featuring their "Alopecia Babes". This is an example of the dozens of ways to stay positive during this time and make the most out of every day. We hope you love their video as much as we do!
