"What is Hats On Day? Hats On Day was founded in 1995 by four sixth-graders in St. Louis, Missouri. They began the fundraiser when their friend and classmate Kevin Beffa was diagnosed with a type of childhood cancer called Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. When Kevin got sick, he began to miss school and lost all of his hair from treatment. Hats On Day was planned to show support for Kevin and to raise money for his surgery. In his memory, Hats On Day continues to raise money for cancer research.
And while the students were donating money for this most worthwhile cause, the National Honor Society collected donations of new teen clothes as Christmas gifts for the children at the Elizabeth Coalition of the Homeless.
The National Honor Society Students also shared their time and talents wrapping and organizing Christmas gifts for the Coalition.
