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.
Thursday, October 24, 2024, marks the seventh 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
Hats for Hope, a nation-wide brain tumour awareness campaign, provides hope for those affected. Hope through research. Hope through information and education. Hope through support. Hope through advocacy. Hope for a cure.
On October 24, 2024, Brain Cancer Awareness Day, we invite you to raise awareness by wearing your #HatsForHope toque, hoodie or crew neck, or any hat, hoodie or crew neck, and post a photo of yourself on social media, using the hashtags #HatsForHope and #HoodiesForHope. Don’t forget to tag @BrainTumourFdn!
Thanks to our distributor New Era Grafix, proceeds from every toque and hoodie sold are being donated to Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada to continue our important mission to find the cause of and cure for brain tumours and brain cancer.
