Q: What is the Children's Alopecia Project, (CAP)?
A: We are the only 501(c) 3 non-profit devoted specifically to helping children living with the hair-loss disease, alopecia areata.  We do so by raising awareness about alopecia, providing support for children and their families, and building self esteem in children living alopecia.

 Q:

Where does the money go?
A:

Funds are used for the following:


- Bi-monthly support group meetings facilitated by master-level therapist Jeff Laubach for CAP Kids and their families from all over Pennsylvania

- A weekend CAP Kids Camp at Camp Manatawny to be attended by children in the tri-state area and extending north as far as Boston, MA

- Helping form CAP Kid Meetings in other areas like Missouri, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York. We plan to have 10 more by the end of 2009.

- Alopeciapalooza, an international convention specifically for the children with alopecia and that will help them with confidence and self-esteem while helping their family cope during the rough times.


- CAP Library Program, through which CAP is donating books about alopecia to the school libraries of children in our support group


- Special events, lectures and day trips for CAP Kids and their families


- New and improved interactive website, which is already bringing together parents across the country and world whose children have been diagnosed with alopecia.

Q: How did CAP get started?
