community resources
Together, We Can Make a Difference
For over 50 years Creative Wigs has been passionate about helping those struggling with cancer and hair loss. Our community resources for cancer can raise awareness, provide support, and bring renewed hope to countless lives. We’re proud to partner with so many amazing organizations!
Giving Grinch
The Giving Grinch is a non-profit organization that strives in helping those in our community during times of need. Our passion is providing assistance during the holiday season to children and local elderly homes across the state of Utah. We are also known for providing headstones, creating memory trips for terminally ill families, and hosting one of the largest car shows in Utah annually! Although we love Christmas time, we pride ourselves in spreading support and kindness throughout the year.
The Boob Bus
It all started with a simple statement: Cancer sucks. Now we have a great team committed to preventing it! The Boob Bus offers mobile mammograms. But more importantly, we are modernizing mammograms. We add a personalized breast cancer risk assessment to each report. Plus, we’re elevating the experience: you’ll feel like you’re in a spa rather than one of hundreds of women going through a clinic in a day.
OUR VISION is a world where no woman misses her annual mammogram. Where the inevitable existence of breast cancer in every one out of eight women is found early when treatment is most swift.
Wigs for Kids
Wigs For Kids connects stylists and hair donors with children who are suffering from hair loss due to alopecia, trichotillomania, burns, chemotherapy or any other medically related loss of hair. When the perfect connections are made, everyday people can make a positive difference in these kids lives every day. It just takes the right hairstylist with the right pair of scissors and a person who is willing to donate a ponytail!
Pink Sync
Pink Sync is free and accessible to all local breast cancer patients. We connect Breast Cancer Patients with each other and with resources. So you can keep living while you are fighting for your life. Because life goes on. We have experts in every areas for learning how to manage during treatment, from surgeons to mental health, to dieticians.
Huntsman Cancer Inst.
Our primary mission at Huntsman Cancer Institute is to alleviate human suffering. Our physicians and scientists work tirelessly to understand cancer and discover breakthroughs that will change patients’ lives. We offer comprehensive support services for patients and their families so that no one has to face cancer alone.
The Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah is the official National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center for Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming. We serve as a beacon of hope for all who have all types of cancer in the Mountain West.
At Huntsman Cancer Institute, we envision a world without cancer. We lead with a focus on community health, patient access and improved outcomes, reducing barriers to care for all.
