33. Hitting the Road with Jeff Woytovich & the Children's Alopecia Project"Maybe you have a little boy that does not want to go to school without his baseball cap on, but he gets to camp and he starts hanging out with these other kids his own age.  They're not wearing a hat, so now he has a decision, do I keep my hat on and keep on playing, or do I take it off because they all have alopecia too?  Who cares?   And that's what it really comes down to.  They get to put themselves in that pecking order, as to where they're at too."On this episode of Alopecia Connection, Frank & Tommy are honored to have the founder of the Children's Alopecia Project (CAP), Jeff Woytovich, on to discuss all things CAP!  From the non-profit organization's beginnings, to the nationwide CAP Kid camps, ALOPECIAPALOOZA, school speaking tours, and a recent foray into podcasting, CAP's significant impact on the alopecia community is highlighted.Connect with Jeff & the Children's Alopecia Project!Website: www.childrensalopeciaproject.orgInstagram: @childrensalopeciaprojectFacebook: Children's Alopecia ProjectTwitter/X: @CAPKidAlopeciaYouTube: Children's Alopecia ProjectConnection is everything!Remember to rate, review, subscribe and share!Alopecia Connection Linktree Alopecia Connection Website*Discussions on Alopecia Connection are from the personal perspectives and experiences of its host and guests, and should be considered that.

In this episode of The Journey of my Mother's Son podcast, I sit down and talk with Jeff Woytovich, founder of the Children's Alopecia Project. Jeff and I have known each other for a little over ten years now.  He is one of my best friends and we share a passion for helping others, especially kids. Jeff started the Children's Alopecia Project (CAP) in 2003 when his daughter, Maddie started to lose her hair.  After going through a rollercoaster of emotions, Jeff felt that it was important to create a support group for other kids and families who were also dealing with alopecia. What started out as a few families in the Philadelphia region has now grown to an international nonprofit organization that has helped countless children, and their families understand that it's ok to be different. CAP's mission is simple: Children's Alopecia Project Our Mission: To help any child in need who is living with hair loss due to all forms of Alopecia. We do so by: Changing the emphasis from growing hair to growing confidence. Building self-esteem in children living with alopecia. Providing support for them and their families. Raising awareness about the life-altering disease. The organization currently holds several CAP Camps throughout the country where families can get together and share their experiences. The organization also sponsors the CAP2U School Library Program, which is a program through which the Children's Alopecia Project purchases library books about alopecia and being different and donates the books to school libraries when Jeff speaks at your child's school. According to parents, librarians, principals, and CAP Kids, our CAP2U Library Program benefited children in the following ways: By teaching children within the school about alopecia areata, thus answering questions, eliminating uncertainty about the nature and unpredictability of the hair loss disease, and ultimately reducing the potential for bullying. By raising awareness about alopecia areata, particularly when children within the school check the books out of the library and take them home to share with their families and friends. By building self-esteem in children living with alopecia areata because the donation of books is coming from them, thus bringing them positive attention. Additionally, Jeff travels the country speaking at schools and to other organizations to help raise awareness of alopecia through the organization's CAP2U Tours.  He again brings a simple message that helps kids to understand that it's ok to be different and that it's our differences that make us perfect.

This is an episode of 2 Minute Tuesdays. This excerpt is from an interview I did recently with Betsy Woytovich. This year, with Covid, Jeff Woytovich of the Children's Alopecia Project, Betsy's husband, isn't able to do school visits as he has in the past. But, he will be traveling to visit CAP kids on his CAP tour from Reading, PA to Redding, CA September 14th-the 24th. If you want to be one of his stops along the way, listen in to hear how to do that. It's quick and easy.

Today's guest is Jeff Woytovich of the Children's Alopecia Project. I had an opportunity to interview him in person, which gave us a new and unique sound quality. It was beautiful and cold during the first week of November here in the PNW where we had our very first CAP camp. You can hear the kids running around, chairs being moved, and fun conversations in the background.Jeff and Betsy Woytovich are founders of the CAP. The impact that CAP has on the alopecia community, our families and the kids, and even mentors is amazing to witness. Thank you for listening. http://www.Facebook.com/ChildrensAlopeciaProjecthttp://www.Twitter.com/CAP_Alopecia http://www.ChildrensAlopeciaProject.org
