Walk For Alopecia® 2026

Hosted by the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF)
Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026*
Location: Nationwide and Virtual Participation Options Available

The National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) invites individuals, families, friends, and supporters to participate in the 4th Annual Walk For Alopecia®, a nationwide event dedicated to raising awareness, building community, and supporting those affected by alopecia areata. Participants can join at flagship walk locations in Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, attend one of more than 40 volunteer-led community walk sites, or participate virtually by walking in their own neighborhood.

According to NAAF, the Walk For Alopecia® brings together thousands of people living with hair loss and their supporters to shine a light on alopecia areata, foster connection, and advance awareness of this autoimmune condition. More than 4,500 participants took part in community walk events across the country last year.

This event may be of interest to members of the broader hair loss community seeking opportunities to connect with others who share similar experiences and to support awareness efforts nationwide.

Supporting Our Mission

Wigs For Kids provides high-quality hairpieces at no cost to eligible children experiencing hair loss. Because every hairpiece is made-to-order and can cost more than $2,600 to produce, community support and hair donations are essential to helping children regain confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of normalcy during difficult medical journeys.

A Community We’re Grateful For

With increasing numbers of families applying for our free‑of‑charge hairpieces due to pediatric hair loss, your support is more essential than ever. Every dollar raised helps us continue providing confidence‑boosting hairpieces to the children we are honored to serve.

Thank you for helping us bring hope, comfort, and confidence to kids who need it most.
