September is Alopecia Areata Awareness Month!

Alopecia Areata Awareness Month is a month-long celebration and recognition of all those affected by alopecia areata.

During September, the NAAF community works to increase awareness, reduce stigma and empower those living with alopecia areata locally and nationally.

Here are just a few of the ways you can help:

SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY: 

  • Join our nationwide campaign, the Walk for AlopeciaTM by creating a fundraising page as a team or individual. September is Alopecia Areata Awareness Month! Let’s Walk For Alopecia!
  • Make a personal donation to NAAF. Visit naaf.org/matching to see if your employer or your spouse’s employer will match your contribution.
  • Host a ‘Do It Yourself’ fundraiser by creating an event in your neighborhood or community. Ask your book club, running club, cycling group, community group, etc. to help you!
  • Donate your car, truck, motorcycle, or RV to NAAF.
  • Donate stock/securities, property, or include NAAF in your will or estate plan by contacting Robbie Baker.

RAISE AWARNESS AND EDUCATE OTHERS: 

  • Hold or sponsor a family-friendly awareness event in your area.
  • Send a Brave Barbie to a friend or family member.
  • Share alopecia areata education brochures at public libraries, community centers or other popular places. Download here and print.
  • Organize a TeamUp event with your local sports team.
