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.
