Heavenly Hats > Hat Parade Day and Photos

THE THIRD ANNUAL NATIONAL HAT PARADE DAY WILL BE HELD ON:

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17TH, 2008

Thank you to everyone who participated in our First and Second National Hat Parade Day. Thank you all very much and we hope that you can join us again in 2008! If your school will be participating in 2008 just drop us an email so that we can get you added to our list.

Help us raise the funds to ship the new hats to all of the patients and hospitals free of charge. This is our most important fundraiser of the year. Without our hat parade we would not be able to afford to ship all of the hat packages to all of the patients in need free of charge. Please encourage your school and other schools and businesses in your community to participate. You can even challenge other schools or businesses to see who can raise the most.

WHAT: Third Annual National Heavenly Hats Hat Parade

WHERE: In your school, at your business, at a park, at your church, basically anywhere where you think that you can gather a group together. This event can be held in any community across the nation.

WHEN: The official date isFriday, October 17th, 2008, however, if this date is not convenient for you please feel free to hold it on any other date that works best for you.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

The Heavenly Hats Foundation(TM) is holding it's third annual "Hat Parade Event" to benefit medical patients around the globe who lose their hair due to their disease or treatment of a disease. What we would like everyone to do is to organize an event in their community by holding their own "hat parade" in their school, at their place of business, at their church, in a park or just by getting a group of people together to have a luncheon or dinner or maybe a walk around their community. We would ask that everyone who was involved in the parade make a donation of just $1.00 to the Heavenly Hats Foundation(TM) and for this donation they would earn the privilege of wearing their favorite hat at their event. Pull out your most outrageous hat that you can find and have a "hat parade."

For example, if you held the event in a school the students and faculty who would like to be involved would pay $1.00 and be allowed to wear their favorite hat to school for the day. Normally wearing hats in school is against the dress code, so this is a great honor for the kids. Maybe even have a time during the day where the students could parade their hats around the entire school or gymnasium. Think of all of the fun hats that could be worn. If you held the event at a business, the employees would each pay $1.00 and wear their favorite hat to work for the day, you get the idea.

Some Fun Ideas

1. Have a contest for the craziest hat, the hat that shows the most school spirit or the best work themed hat.

2. Set aside a time during the day when you can show off your hats by holding a parade somewhere at school or work.

3. Contact local media to film or take photos of your hat parade.

4. Wear your hats to a school event such as a football game.

5. Get a group of friends together and make your own hats to wear.

6. Make some fun hats to wear that day in your art class.

7. Gather your co-workers and decorate some crazy hats for the event.

8. Have a pet walk or community walk and wear your hats.

9. Challenge the other schools in your district to see who can raise the most and then the winner gets a prize, traveling trophy etc. If your school gets 2 other schools in your district to participate in your challenge please let us know and we will provide the traveling trophy for your district.

Please help us to make our "Hat Parade" a huge success and help all of our "Hat Heroes" in need. The cost of shipping our new hats to the patients and hospitals is a huge expense to our organization and your participation in this event would go to help so many patients in need.

If you need any other information or if you would like to be a "group leader" and head up one of these "hat parades just send us an email at:

anthony@heavenlyhats.com

and we will get you everything that you need.

We would also like you to take photos at your event so that we can post them to the website. I am sure there will be a lot of crazy and fancy hats worn and we should be able to get some great photos of everyone.

Thank you so much for your help!

Anthony
