October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and at Wig Studio 1 it’s a time that hits close to home. Many of the people who come to us for wigs, toppers and headwear are going through breast cancer treatment, and we see every day how much hair loss can affect someone’s confidence and sense of self. That’s why we’re proud to support Breastcancer.org, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people affected by breast cancer get trusted information and real community support.
Why This Partnership Matters to Us
Hair loss during cancer treatment is more than a physical change. It can affect how you see yourself, how you feel walking into a room, and how much of your old life feels within reach. Our job has always been to help people feel like themselves again, and supporting Breastcancer.org lets us do that beyond our own shelves: by helping fund the information and community people lean on from diagnosis through treatment and beyond.
About Breastcancer.org
Breastcancer.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2000 by breast oncologist Marisa C. Weiss, MD. It was built on a simple belief: people facing breast cancer need clearer information and more support than a single doctor’s visit can provide. Today, Breastcancer.org offers:
- Expert information written by a team of science writers and health journalists and reviewed by medical experts.
- Research news that explains new findings in plain, easy-to-understand language.
- A peer support community, including discussion forums and virtual meetups, where people touched by breast cancer can connect with others who understand.
According to Breastcancer.org’s own figures, the organization has reached 256 million people worldwide since it began.
How Our Partnership Works
There are two ways your support reaches Breastcancer.org through Wig Studio 1:
- Every purchase helps. Wig Studio 1 donates a portion of all sales to Breastcancer.org every year, so each order you place contributes to the cause.
- Donate at checkout. You can add a donation to Breastcancer.org to any order, and 100% of every checkout donation goes directly to the organization.
How You Can Get Involved
Giving back takes just a moment. Add a donation in your cart before checkout, or add the Breastcancer.org donation to your cart directly. Even a small gift helps fund the information and support that people rely on during some of the hardest moments of their lives.
You can also help by sharing this post or our partnership page with someone who might benefit from Breastcancer.org’s resources.
