Save the date and put your thinking caps on – Wear A Hat Day is coming again! ● What is Wear A Hat Day? Wear A Hat Day is the UK’s premier brain tumour research fundraising event. Taking place on Friday 31st March 2017, which is the last day of Brain Tumour Awareness Month, schools and families across the country get involved to help raise funds for research into this devastating disease. ● Why get involved? Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. No parent should lose a child and no child should lose a parent prematurely. Brain Tumour Research is the only national charity that invests in sustainable long-term research at UK Centres of Excellence. Wear A Hat Day is a great way to show support and raise money for this research. Children and adults take part in days of hat-filled fundraising events. School children maximise their fundraising by selling exclusive hat-shaped pin badges – with new designs from the charity created each year, they have become collector’s items among the youngsters! ● How do I get involved? Register now at www.wearahatday.org and start planning your event. Your fundraising pack will include leaflets and posters to help promote your event and will arrive in plenty of time for your Wear A Hat Day. The charity provides exciting Wear A Hat Day merchandise to buy and sell to help with your fundraising – wristbands, plush hats, baseball caps, car hats and designer brooches for parents and teachers joining in with little fundraisers. Event ideas and fundraising top tips can be found on the website. Many children make hats, have hat competitions, parades and fashion shows, and the charity publishes the best photos on social media. All in all it is simply too HATTASTIC to miss! www.primarytimes.net/birmingham | FEBRUARY Issue Primary Times 3
