Satellite Head Hugger Groups List

Head Huggers is currently embarking on a new mission - one that has the purpose of providing more and more chemo caps to more areas around the country (and internationally too) ... encouraging regular volunteer-hat-makers to make and distribute Head Huggers chemo caps in their own localities - and to start up their own Head Huggers splinter groups.

We can post info about any splinter group on this list we're forming. While we won't be able to make a website or subsite for your group, we can link to any site you create, or we can just list contact info if you prefer.
