Raising Awareness
Brain Cancer Awareness Day
Addressing the need
Canada currently has one of the highest rates of brain tumour incidents in the world 2. Between 1992 and 2008, 13,340 Canadians died from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) alone 3. No new discoveries have been made for a decade. Research and innovation is needed now more than ever.
Friday, October 24, 2025, marks the eighth annual Brain Cancer Awareness Day in Canada! On this day, our goal is to bring attention to the impact of this disease while also sharing a message filled with HOPE.
Hats for Hope
October 24, 2018, was declared the first annual Brain Cancer Awareness Day by the House of Commons in Canada, thanks to lobbying efforts from Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and our incredible community.
This year also marked the first Hats for Hope campaign, which saw Canadians wear their hats in support of brain cancer awareness while sharing photos on social media with the hashtag, #HatsForHope.
We proved that together, we can make an impact!
On October 24, 2025, Brain Cancer Awareness Day, we invite you to raise awareness by wearing your #HatsForHope toque, mittens or hoodie, and post a photo of yourself on social media, using the hashtag #HatsForHope. Don’t forget to tag @BrainTumourFdn!
Thanks to our distributor New Era Grafix, proceeds from every item sold will be donated to Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, helping us continue our important mission to find the cause of and cure for brain tumours and brain cancer.
