Hats for Hope

We’re raising funds and awareness for brain cancer, one hat at a time.

Every day, 27 Canadians will hear the words, “You have a brain tumour.”

Eight of them will find out they have brain cancer.

No matter their diagnosis, their lives will forever be changed.

We’re here to share hope!

Hope through research.
Hope through information and education.
Hope through support.
Hope through advocacy.

While we also hope for a cure, we’re actively working towards one.

With every purchase of a toque, mittens or hoodie, you’re joining the movement to provide hope and find a cure for this devastating disease.

About Hats for Hope

On October 24, 2018, the House of Commons in Canada declared the first annual Brain Cancer Awareness Day, made possible through the passionate advocacy of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and the unwavering voices of our incredible community. 
 
That same year, we launched the very first Hats for Hope campaign, inviting Canadians to wear their hats in solidarity, share their photos online, and shine a light on brain cancer awareness. The movement sparked a wave of compassion, connection, and courage across the country.
 
We proved that together, we can make an impact!
 
Let’s continue that momentum this year, wearing our toque, mittens or hoodie, in support of Hats for Hope and Canada’s brain tumour community.
