Montgomery Catholic Second Grader Donates to Wigs for Kids Mission

Anna Tittle, a second grade student in Mrs. Ellie Burden’s class at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School’s Holy Spirit Campus, recently donated her hair to Wigs For Kids Mission, a nonprofit charitable organization that has been serving children suffering from hair loss since 1981.  Anna has been growing her hair for a few years and was able to donate four braids that each were over one foot long.  Anna is already thinking about the various philanthropies for her next hair donation in the years to come.
