Day 41: Hats Off For Cancer

Erica Scevers, a Miss Whatcom County contestant, brought this important cause to my attention. This information was taken directly from her Facebook Event- Hats off for cancer: Hat Drive 2013:
 "Since 1996, Hats off for Cancer has collected and donated over 1.5 million hats to children battling cancer.

Hats off for Cancer began as a two person operation and has grown into a nationally recognized organization. Their mission is to reach out to children battling cancer, to make a child's day a bit happier and their smile a bit brighter. "

She is hosting the hat drive now until this Sunday! She is accepting all kinds of donations from beanies to baseball caps. Below is the address where donations may be sent:

Erica Scevers
P.O. Box 657
Ferndale WA, 98248

All donations will be taken to the Seattle Children's Hospital the first week of March!

After hearing about this incredible event, I started to think if I had any unused hats laying around that would benefit others more than myself. I came up with a few and now I encourage you to do the same. Rummage around and see if you have a baseball cap that a young boy may enjoy, or a cute beanie that a little girl will look adorable in. The more the merrier!

Good luck in all your future endeavors Erica!


God bless, 
Kailee
