Our Mission

At Wicked Awesome Wishes, our goal is simple: to give assistance directly to those in need.

At Wicked Awesome Wishes, there will be no red tape, no handling fees, no processing fees. All the funds we raise go directly to people who need them.

Wicked Awesome Wishes was founded on the premise of helping children and families in need who have fallen on hard times financially, are suffering from a life altering disease and unable to make ends meet in their normal daily life.

Wicked Awesome Wishes seeks out those in our communities who are fighting every day and just need a little support to get through life. We create once in a lifetime experiences, help pay expenses of those who face unthinkable challenges in life and health, allow those in need to accomplish things they would not normally be able to afford, and spread happiness, joy and hope to children and families in need.

Our History

Founded in 2013, Wicked Awesome Wishes is a WAW is a Michigan-based charitable project that has the ability to accept tax-deductible contributions. The foundation is the brainchild of Chad Johnson, CEO of Lady Jane's Haircuts for Men.

As the Lady Jane's salon network expanded across 21 states, Johnson learned more about the communities his businesses operated in and knew he had a higher purpose: to give back in each of the communities his barbershops serve.

Now, with over 100 Lady Jane's locations across the United States, our opportunity to give back is greater than ever. We're proud to have trusted volunteers on the ground in every community we serve. We wholeheartedly believe charity is meant to help those in need promptly and directly, so there's no middle men, no red tape - just well-intentioned volunteers who love to help deserving people in whatever way they can, whether it's paying for a struggling student's college, supporting our veterans, or supporting a single mother through the holidays.

Wicked Awesome Wishes assists with utility bills, provides once-in-a-lifetime experiences for kids, and makes the holidays special for families in need.

We hope to enable real people to truly experience the joy of having a wish fulfilled and finding hope, while helping others enjoy the rewards of paying it forward.
