A group of Metro Detroit
women, including members of
the Jewish community, knew
firsthand the power of scalp
cooling therapy in saving their
hair during cancer treatment.
While chemotherapy saves
lives, a devastating potential
impact of the treatment is hair
loss. Yet cold cap therapy, or
scalp cooling, can help cancer
patients maintain their hair
and dignity.
Ali Weitz, Madison
Novice, Taylor Novice, Karlee
Simmons, Molly Powers and
Janet Gendelman, the women
behind Cap & Conquer, have
all benefited from cold cap
therapy or supported a loved
one who has.
Yet scalp cooling is
expensive — running
anywhere from $1,500 to
$3,000 for treatment — and
isn’t affordable for many. Most
health insurances also don’t
cover the treatment.
Therefore, Cap & Conquer,
a Michigan-based nonprofit,
has made it its mission to raise
funding for cold caps to make
this critical therapy accessible
for more cancer patients.
The nonprofit’s biggest
fundraising event is its annual
Cap & Conquer Golf Outing,
which will take place at
Tam-O-Shanter Golf Club
in West Bloomfield on Aug.
7. The third-annual event
aims to raise $250,000 for
scalp cooling therapy. Last
year’s event raised $210,000,
and Cap & Conquer sets its
goal even higher for its 2023
fundraiser.
Cap & Conquer Golf
Outing will have a noon
shotgun start and will include
scramble golf and a variety
of other activities. A silent
auction, putting green contest,
Hole-In-One challenge and
more will make up the action-
packed day raising funds for
cancer patients. A cocktail
hour with appetizers and
open bar will follow the golf
activities.
Registration is now open
and costs $250 per golfer
to join. The registration fee
includes a cart, practice balls,
boxed lunch, entertainment
and, of course, the open-bar
cocktail hour. Those who
aren’t golfers can also register
for the cocktail hour portion
of the event only for $125 per
person.
