Dear CAP Families,
Alopeciapalooza ended on August 10th. I've been traveling to hold CAP Kid Group Get-Togethers since then, and now that I am done, I wanted to post the Alopeciapalooza video and photos from Marisa Ramirez and take a moment to simply say thank you.
Thank you for bringing your children.
Thank you for trusting the Children’s Alopecia Project with your families.
And most importantly, thank you for loving your children exactly as they are and for wanting them to grow up with the confidence and self-esteem to be themselves—regardless of how much hair they have on their heads or bodies.
Watching our CAP Kids together is something I never get tired of.
They laugh. They play. They try new things. They make friends. They talk with other kids who understand things that sometimes no one else can completely understand.
And somewhere along the way, something wonderful happens.
They realize they are not alone.
They find their tribe.
That is what Alopeciapalooza is really about.
It is not just the activities, the campfires, the meals, the speakers, or the fun. It is about giving children and families the opportunity to look around and realize, “These people understand me. I belong here.”
My greatest hope is that your child carries that feeling home with them.
But I also do not want that feeling to disappear when everyone leaves camp.
That is where I need your help.
The future of the Children’s Alopecia Project depends greatly on awareness and donations. We do everything we can to reach more children, support more families, create more CAP Kid Groups, hold more events, and continue Alopeciapalooza and CAP Kid Camps, Get-Togethers, and CAP2U Speaking Tours—but we cannot do it alone.
I am asking every CAP family to help us grow this community.
Please share CAP on your social media pages and tell your friends and family what CAP has meant to your child.
Consider holding a fundraiser for CAP in your hometown, workplace, school, church, business, or community.
It does not have to be complicated.
A few CAP families getting together for pizza, bowling, a picnic, swimming, a movie, or an afternoon at the park can mean more to a child than we sometimes realize.
Those moments remind our kids:
I have friends who understand me.
I belong somewhere.
I am not alone.
That is the community we are building together.
Every social media share creates awareness.
Every fundraiser helps another child.
Every donation helps CAP continue.
And every time two CAP Kids connect, our mission becomes a little stronger.
Thank you for allowing CAP to be part of your family’s journey.
And thank you for helping us ensure that the friendships and confidence built at Alopeciapalooza continue long after camp is over.
Our kids found their tribe.
Now let’s make sure they never lose it.
