Our Mission:
To help any child in need who is living with hair loss due to all forms of Alopecia.
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease that is not life threatening, but is life altering. It is not contagious. You can't catch it and it does not hurt. It is almost as if your body is allergic to hair, which causes it to fall out.
Here are some example of what we have accomplished:
 Monthly CAP Kids Meetings facilitated by master-level therapists
Interactive Website with Online Support and chat rooms for parents and teens across the country
Weekend CAP Kid Camp at Camp Manatawny
Special events, Lectures & Day Trips for CAP Kids and their families
CAP Kid Library Program, through which CAP donated books about alopecia to the libraries of 15 CAP Kids
Alopeciapalooza CAP's National Kid Convention with a focus on self-esteem, coming in August 2009
CAP Kid Connections Program through which CAP is helping parents to find other children living with alopecia in
their local communities
National Awareness Outreach Program through which CAP is reaching out to dermatologists across the country in an effort to help more children liing alopecia
In our efforts to raise awareness and build self esteem, CAP is committed to the following objectives:
Hold regularly scheduled CAP Kid Meetings in satellite locations across the country
Educate communities across the country about alopecia and the Children's Alopecia Project,
Offer online support and programming to help parents and children living with alopecia across the world
