Children wearing wigs of all shapes and lengths came out to make a statement on Wednesday to raise funds for the Child Cancer Foundation.
Now in its fourth year, four Whanganui primary schools and one Early Childhood centre participated in Wig Wednesday.
Brunswick School encouraged their students to get involved with the fundraiser by wearing wigs all day and bringing a gold coin donation.
"We have always had a high percentage of our school get involved with Wig Wednesday," Brunswick school office administrator Judy Huthnance said.
Amelia Bennett, a cancer survivor and a student at Brunswick school wore a wig and brought her beads of courage to school to show the other children.
