Bold. Bald. Beautiful.
Encouraging, Supporting and Empowering children with Alopecia.
The Graelynn Lace Alopecia Foundation is dedicated to uplifting children living with Alopecia by providing resources that build confidence, community and opportunity. We believe that every child deserves to feel confident, supported and proud of who they are. Through spreading awareness, wig assistance, and alopecia-based scholarships, we help children embrace their uniqueness and thrive.
Hair loss can be challenging, and no none should have to face it alone. Our mission is to create a supportive network where children with Alopecia feel seen, empowered and celebrated.
With the help of our generous supporters and community partners, we are able to provide funding for:
-
Scholarships for alopecia camps and confidence programs
-
Community events that promote awareness and acceptance
-
Support Programs that help children build self esteem
-
Custom Wigs for children with alopecia
Our services
Spreading awareness & Building a supportive community
Community Events
One of our main goals is spreading awareness about alopecia and hosting events to both raise money for our alopecia support programs, as well as outreach events to the alopecia community.
Scholarships
We do not want any child left out of important confidence building groups and alopecia based camps. We provide scholarships for both Confidence Club and the Alopecialooza Camp with the funds that we raise throughout the year.
Wig Funds
Even though one of our main mottos is BALD, BOLD & BEAUTIFUL, we still encourage everyone to be comfortable in their own body and sometimes that's wearing a wig! We host hair drive events to donate hair to local wig makers as well as donate to families who need to purchase wigs.

The Heart of Our Mission
Our nonprofit was created in honor of our daughter, Graelynn, who was diagnosed with alopecia at just two years old. What began as a medical diagnosis quickly became an emotional journey our family never expected. The overwhelming feelings that come with an alopecia diagnosis can be difficult to process, especially when many people simply do not understand what the condition is or what families experience.
In the first year after Graelynn's diagnosis, we encountered many individuals who were unfamiliar with alopecia and, unfortunately, our daughter was sometimes met with insensitive comments. Those experiences opened our eyes to how much awareness and education are still needed.
That is what inspired us to create this foundation. Our mission is not only to spread awareness about alopecia, but also to support and uplift children and families navigating this journey. We strive to build a community where those affected with alopecia can connect, form meaningful relationships, and find encouragement from others who truly understand their experience.
