Wig 4 Kids Founder Nominated For Award

Founder & CEO of Wigs 4 Kids, Maggie Varney,  has been nominated for the Athena Award through the Macomb Chamber. The Athena Award is presented to a woman —or man— who is honored for professional excellence, community service and for actively assisting women in their attainment of leadership skills.  Ms. Varney was nominated by Katrina Helsel, who works alongside her as a licensed cosmetologist & Salon Manager at Go Green Salon, located inside Wigs 4 Kids. Ms. Helsel nominated Varney after witnessing the hard work, dedication, innovation and caring nature she exhibited in breaking new ground by introducing the concept of Wigs 4 Kids to the state of Michigan. For Varney, the nomination came as a pleasant surprise. “I was so humbled to be nominated by Katrina, whom I have mentored and had the pleasure of working with for 11 years. I watched her grow into a successful beauty professional & Salon Manager and could not be prouder to receive this nomination. Whenever we are recognized for the work that we do, we are able to reach out further in the community to more families in need.”  Wigs 4 Kids provides wigs and support services to Michigan children experiencing hair loss as a result of cancer treatment, alopecia, trichotillomania and other disorders. The program is available to any child or teen from ages 3 to 18 at no cost to them or their families.
