Wear A Hat Day is back, taking place on Friday 27th March, and you can help us make it more successful than ever.
One of the UK’s biggest and best-loved brain tumour awareness and fundraising days, Wear A Hat Day brings people together as they put on hats, hold fundraising events and make donations. The money raised helps further our vital research to find new treatments and, ultimately, cures for brain tumours, and drives our campaigning to influence greater national investment in research into the disease.
This March – Brain Tumour Awareness Month – you can help us go even further. Whatever your style – whether you favour a fedora, sport a sombrero or pop on a Panama – by wearing a hat and holding a fundraising event or doing a challenge, you’ll help bring hope to the one in three people who knows someone affected by a brain tumour.
You could coordinate a coffee morning in your community, sort a sponsored sports challenge at your school, test your team’s trivia knowledge with a quiz at work, turn crafts into cash and sell your creations to raise money for a good cause – there’s no limit to how you can get involved and whatever you do, your Community Fundraiser will be on hand to support you along the way.
Among those already putting their plans in place is Emma Carrick. For the 10th year running, Emma will be dusting off her extensive collection to don a different hat every day during March. Her fundraising is inspired by her husband Brian who lives with the life-changing effects of his oligodendroglioma diagnosis. We can’t wait to see which hats Emma sports this year!
However you choose to get involved, by organising a Wear A Hat Day event or challenge, you will help change the story for brain tumour patients everywhere.
