Each year in the US, there are estimated over 15,000 children who are diagnosed with cancer. Approximately 1 in 285 children will be diagnosed before their 20th birthday. While the survival rates have improved, there are way too many children whose lives are taken too soon from cancer. We need to fight it. This is why I am so happy to be able to talk about this company, Love Your Melon.
Who Are They?
In short, Love Your Melon is a hat and apparel company that donates 50% of their profits to benefit children with pediatric cancer in the US. Their nonprofit partners fund cancer research and provide immediate support for families of children battling cancer.
To date, they have donated over 4.6 million dollars and 144,000 hats! That’s absolutely incredible! This company was founded in Minnesota in 2012 with the idea of putting a hat on every child battling the disease in America. It’s honestly such an incredibly company, and I am so happy I get to support and share this information with you guys!
How Can I Help?
One of the obvious ways is by buying the adorable beanies they have! They also have headbands, throw pillows, and apparel! Their stuff is so cute and it is for a good cause, so why wouldn’t you want to help?! I have an adorable grey beanie and it’s so cozy, even in the warmer weather!
Request a hat!
Don’t want to buy a hat for yourself but you know someone who is battling pediatric cancer? You can request a hat! Love Your Melon’s Request a Hat program gives friends and family the opportunity to surprise a child battling cancer with a hat!

Write a note!
This is something that I absolutely love and will be sending one in myself! You can write a note to a superhero! If you don’t have the money to support the mission, you can always make a child’s day by sending words of encouragement! Your note will be personally delivered and will put a smile on a child’s face as they go through this difficult time. Submissions are limited to one per person, so make it a really amazing letter!

I know there are so many issues going on in the world that need our support. It can make you feel helpless and overwhelmed. I think this is such an amazing company who have found a great way to get consumers to support such an important mission. You get a really cute beanie, and you also help to fight cancer! You really have nothing to lose here, and every purchase really does make a difference.
I know this blog post isn’t as lighthearted as my others, but it’s important to talk about issues and ways we can help, so I am so incredibly grateful to be able to help this company in my own way. Let fight cancer!
