Operation:BeYoutiful is a charitable organization providing wigs and specialized programming to girls and women battling medically related hair loss in Cambria, Somerset, and surrounding counties. We feel that part of the healing process is feeling good. Our program focuses on overall well-being and trying to instill a sense of “normalcy” back into our gals’ lives while they are going through a very abnormal time.

This year’s gala is a “Pirates of the Caribbean” themed event and it promises to be an evening filled with inspiration, entertainment, and meaningful connections. Between both events, our goal is to raise $75,000 this year which will go directly towards providing a high-quality wig and an amazing experience and specialized programming for our recipients. In addition to the wig, we provide gift certificates for both a wig cleaning and two spa treatments. We also offer monthly meetups, meals, house cleaning, yoga classes, essential oils and counseling services as a part of our overall wellness package. I am so proud to say that all our relationships are with locally owned businesses and all monies raised stay in our local community, so you know you are making an impact where you live and work. Since we provide all products and services at no cost to the recipient, we are dependent on fundraising, grant funding as well as the generosity of businesses, local organizations, and individuals.
