Have a ‘wear a hat’ day to help brain tumour awareness month in
March

March is the Month: Wear a Hat Campaign
Brainwaves NI is partnering with its umbrella group charity,
Brain Tumour Research, and other member charities to use the
month of March 2010 to raise awareness and funds for brain
tumour charities.
More children and people under the age of 40 die of a brain
tumour than leukaemia or any other cancer.
Five year survival is still only 14%.
If you would like your organisation to have a ‘wear a hat’ day
to help us with our brain tumour awareness month in March,
please get in contact.
We will be able to provide posters and a guide to help
you get organised.
