Love Your Melon started from an idea of giving a hat to every child battling cancer and supporting the fight against pediatric cancer with each sale of its knitted beanie hats. They have since given over 160,000 hats and over $6 million through their Love Your Melon Fund. This cancer-fighting hat is 100% cotton with a removable faux-fur pom on top, is made in the USA, and half of the profits goes towards supporting non-profits fighting pediatric cancer, creating therapeutic experiences and funding charitable programming initiatives for children and families battling cancer.
