Holding a hat drive is a very rewarding experience for people of all ages. Hat drives can be set up in many places including schools, businesses, and more.

Help bring a little cheer to one of these brave children battling cancer by making a donation today. We accept new hats, gift cards and monetary gifts.

About Ellie’s Hats

In the spring of 2013 a little girl named Ellie was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. By the time she started kindergarten in the fall, she had lost most of her hair and was wearing hats to school every day. Ellie’s Hats was born after one of her teachers noticed how much cheer and individuality the hats brought to Ellie. He wanted to share that feeling with other children who suffered from childhood cancer and to also raise awareness.

With the support of our partners and sponsors we have been able to donate thousands of hats to children across the country and send items, such as ipads, dvd players, tvs, gift cards, crayons, Play-doh and small toys, to locations treating pediatric cancer patients.

Ellie’s Hats works throughout the year to raise awareness of childhood cancer, and especially during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We encourage schools to have activities, such as a Go Gold 4 Kids day at their school. We encourage football, lacrosse, baseball and softball teams to wear the gold ribbon on their helmets.
