We’re right around the corner from September and you know what that means! Alopecia Areata Awareness Month!

Not sure what you can do this September to support someone with alopecia areata?

Here are some ways to get involved:

    • Participate in CANAAF’s September Giveaway Challenge on social media to help us raise awareness of alopecia. Find us @canaaf on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for details. The winners of this challenge will receive a special prize from a CANAAF Vendor!
    • Donate. Help someone who has felt the impact of alopecia by making a gift in support of CANAAF’s mission. Money raised will go towards improving access to support groups, educational materials, and other essential resources for those with alopecia and their families.
    • Head to Vancouver with friends for Dayna’s Alopecia Awareness Event being held at the end of September and meet others in the community with Alopecia. Dayna is a CANAAF Volunteer and lifestyle coach who will teach a free movement class to inspire body positivity and confidence. Check our social media feeds for more details to come soon.
    • Hold a fundraiser using CanadaHelps and have fun while raising awareness and money for this important cause! Head over to www.canaaf.org/fundraising for a list of fundraising ideas and to set up an online donation page.
    • Have conversations. Whether with someone in line at the store, or to a friend, the more we can share knowledge and experiences with others, the more understood alopecia becomes. Together we can help focus attention on improving research, treatment, and other medical and non-medical options for hair loss.
    • Like and share. Notice something else exciting happening during alopecia awareness month? Spread the word by liking, commenting and sharing on social media. Let us know if you are hosting a fundraiser by emailing info@canaaf.org and we’ll help you get the word out!

    Happy September everyone!
