Description:
In the year following EBeauty!s formation, two of Carolyn!s sisters-in-law were diagnosed with cancer. Carolyn provided a wig to one of her sisters-in-law who then offered it to the other upon completion of her treatment. Carolyn immediately recognized that the progression of wigs from one woman to the next both fulfilled a critical need for the patient undergoing treatment; and empowered the survivor by allowing her to give back as she progressed to the next stage in her recovery. Carolyn decided to focus EBeauty!s efforts first and foremost on bringing this type of exchange to scale.
The Wig Exchange Program has been the cornerstone of EBeauty programming for five years and the core model continues today. By the end of 2016, EBeauty will have distributed 15,000 wigs to women in need throughout the country.

Special Notes/Funding
Wig Donation.
Description
At EBeuaty, we believe every woman experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy should have access to a wig in which she can feel beautiful throughout the recovery process. We also believe there is power in paying forward the gift of a wig once treatment is complete, health recovered and hair restored. Our wig exchange model is rooted in these ideals. We aim to meet immediate needs while fostering a cycle of giving, receiving, hope and healing. EBeauty partners with hospitals and other community based organizations that outreach to cancer patients and serve as drop-off locations for women who no longer need a wig and wish to donate. We also accept donations via mail. Wigs are refurbished and sent, free of charge, to women in need. Those seeking wigs can select style, color and other options via our interactive online platform.
