According to Susan G. Komen South Florida, a Big Wig is “a very important person on a mission to end breast cancer forever by raising awareness and funds in their community; willing to have fun while wearing a ridiculous pink wig.”
Seven local men (pictured below) did just that on October 14, when they gathered at Saks Fifth Avenue Palm Beach for a lively Key to the Cure party and fundraiser. Good sports all, they donned pink wigs styled to suit their personalities–from Marilyn Monroe tousles to big bouffants to hipster braids–and decorated windows at Saks in support of Susan G. Komen and the battle to end breast cancer.
