CAP Kid Appeal
Changing the emphasis from growing hair to growing confidence.
Dear Friends and Family of CAP,
Every year, we witness the courage and
resilience of young individuals as they navigate the challenges of Alopecia.
This year, Alopeciapalooza 2024 was particularly special because several CAP
Kid Alumni came back to volunteer and shared what Alopeciapalooza meant to them
when they were young and attending with their families. Listening to them share
stories of ongoing friendships and life-changing memories and watching them
interact with young CAP Kids spoke volumes to us about the impact that CAP and
Alopeciapalooza has had on their lives. Hearing their stories of overcoming
adversity and finding happiness and success in their lives inspired children
and reassured parents that you can live a full and beautiful life - with or
without hair!
As we approach a new year, a new chapter unfolds for the Children's Alopecia Project (CAP). Twenty years ago when we first founded CAP our primary focus was on the CAP Kid Groups. In 2025 we are going back to basics. Instead of camps, we will once again hold CAP Kid/Teen Get-Togethers at day camps, picnic areas and indoor venues across the country.
But, more than ever, we need your help.
With your support, we can continue to provide:
Essential Resources: From CAP2U School
Speaking Tours, CAP Kid Groups and Alopeciapalooza to emotional support and
educational materials, we empower children to face the world with confidence.
Community and Connection: Through our
programs, CAP Kids and their families find a sense of belonging and
understanding, fostering friendships and a strong support network.
Hope for the Future: Your donation
fuels our efforts to change the emphasis from growing hair to growing
confidence and building self-esteem, bringing us closer to a future where
Alopecia is no longer a source of fear or isolation.
Your donations help to continue the
mission of CAP in the following ways:
Donate $200 - Give library
books about alopecia to schools where I speak.
Donate $350 - Send a child
with alopecia to Alopeciapalooza.
Donate $500 - Sponsor a leg
of the CAP2U School Speaking Tours.
Mail in a check made payable to “CAP” at 906 Penn Avenue, Wyomissing, PA 19610. You can also Venmo @capcares, or use any major credit card at CapKidAppeal.org.
If you prefer to
spread your gift out over time, please consider giving a recurring monthly
payment. For example, $30 a month for 12 months will send one kid to
Alopeciapalooza, or even $17 a month will help support our Library
Program.
Your
generosity, no matter the size, can make a profound difference. Every dollar
brings us closer to our goal of ensuring that every child affected by Alopecia
receives the support they need and deserve. Please consider donating today.
Your kindness will have a lasting impact on the lives of these remarkable young
people.
Thank you for your compassion and support.
Sincerely,
Jeff Woytovich, Founder
Children's Aloepcia Project
