Crowns of Courage is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping children undergoing chemotherapy feel confident and comfortable while navigating the challenges of cancer-related hair loss. The organization provides custom halo wigs made from real hair at no cost to families, allowing pediatric patients to use their own hair or donated hair to create a natural-looking, lightweight wig that can be worn with hats, beanies, or scarves.

Founded after a young cancer patient experienced firsthand the confidence a halo wig could provide, Crowns of Courage strives to give pediatric cancer patients a greater sense of normalcy, strength, and courage throughout their treatment journey. The organization also accepts hair and monetary donations to help provide these personalized wigs to children in need.
