Students at Neoga High School recently showed their support for people suffering from cancer by participating in Hat Day, a function organized by the National Honor Society. On October 15th, students had the option to give a $1 donation to the Heavenly Hats Foundation. In exchange for their donation, students who paid were allowed to wear a hat to school for that day.
Heavenly Hats was founded in 2001 by Anthony Leanna when he was ten years old. The foundation supplies cancer patients with hats for warmth, comfort, and reassurance and has given out more than 1,000,000 hats to date. They have shipped hats to hundreds of different hospitals around the U.S. and even more have been shipped directly to patients at home. With the students’ donations, National Honor Society was able to send a $111 contribution to the Heavenly Hats Foundation.
