DEL MAR, CA, October 14, 2010

Claudia's Cool Hats. Com, now a 501 c (3) non-profit organization, is dedicated to creating and distributing hats to women and children experiencing devastating hair loss from chemotherapy, alopecia, or other medical causes. Its motto, 'You Will Always Be Beautiful' reminds each patient that beauty begins within and external beauty is but a part of true, lasting beauty.

Each hat is hand-sewn with permanently attached, high-quality human hair and the human touch of loving kindness.

Claudia's Cool Hats (CCH) depends on the generous donations of sponsors to provide hats free of charge to deserving recipients at cancer treatment centers throughout the country.

All profits from the direct retail purchase of CCH hats go to provide hats for individuals who could not otherwise afford a CCH hat.

In its first year, CCH donated over $2,000 in hats to the children of St. Joseph's Medical Hospital Children's Cancer Center in affiliation with Project Ladybug and Bravo TV's The Housewives of New Jersey, Dina and Caroline Manzo. Claudia's Cool Hats has also been featured on CBS TV and The Palm Beach Post.

CCH hats provide patients the accessory to help them feel as beautiful on the outside and they are on the inside. CCH hats re-ignite the fighting spirit by boosting the self confidence of every wearer, allowing a woman to return to a social life confident in her appearance, without feeling self conscious or a child or teen to be a part of normal activities without added pain of rejection or stares from hair loss due to chemotherapy.

CCH has a variety of hats to fit different lifestyles and needs, from very casual to slightly formal, all of which fit comfortably, providing the highest quality product for all outings. No patient need wear a hat that is not high-quality fabric and hair, for such only diminishes the patient's confidence. CCH uses only the best in materials for the construction and design of each hat with hair, helping each wearer to feel confident and socialize sooner, thus return the patient to the being a part of Life.

CCH hats
• enhance patient's appearance
• boost self-confidence
• ignite hope
• fit comfortably
• flatter outward appearance
• are made of the highest-quality materials
• provide total head coverage
• encourage socializing, outdoor exercises, and community
• restore the soul and patient outlook
• help speed recovery

Each gift of a CCH hat is personalized with a special CCH hat box with wrapping and tissue to delight the recipient and makes each feel special and unique, also reducing the hat's exposure to germs and dust.

In time, the CCH website will invite visitors to register as part of the CCH community Web portal for patient resources, links, blogs, tweets, facebook, and other social media sharing opportunities for patients to share and discuss their experience, helping inspire others to stay strong and always to feel beautiful, inside and out.

Claudia Seggel, Founder and President of CCH.org, is an in-demand inspirational speaker and educator, empowering women and cancer family members to support and help one another through the most difficult of times and to know that patients and supporters together can move mountains and create miracles. A former corporate accountant, Claudia's own diagnosis of breast cancer and experience of hair loss due to chemotherapy treatments lead her to create Claudia's Cool Hats.
