Ways To Get Involved *Have your own fundraising event. Fundraising can be a great way to educate your community and those you see everyday, but also raise money for a great cause. This type of action plan can involve things such as a live auction, dinner, different presentations, and other fun interactive pieces to provide a light, informational evening. *Donate money or hair to the foundation. Donating money to the Alopecia Areata Foundation can provide more money to develop and test different treatment types, and better the results for those with the disease. It can also help with technological advancement that could potentially lead to new discoveries about the disease itself. Donating hair can help those with more severe cases of Alopecia Areata, because it can be used to create very realistic looking wigs, so those with the disease have an option to wear one if they would like. *Help educate your community about Alopecia Areata and the psychological effects of the disease. Educating the people that you see during everyday life about Alopecia Areata will give them an understanding of the disease, considering most people are not sure what it is and if it is life-threatening or not. It can help if you have a lot of people working with you and supporting you. *Contact me if you wish to participate in my action plan! I am hoping to have a large turnout at a benefit dinner with a live auction and many live speakers. If you have Alopecia Areata, or have experienced it in some way, and would like to become a part of my action plan contact me. I would like many people to share their stories and the experiences they have had with the disease. *Visit the NAAF website for more ways to help out and get involved in the Alopecia Areata community.
