Hats Off for Cancer
Hats Off for Cancer (HOC) is a United States 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides support for children affected by cancer. The signature activity of the charity is to collect donated hats for distribution to children battling cancer—especially children with alopecia resulting from their treatment. The organization estimates that it has coordinated the distribution of over 1.5 million hats since 1996.〔(), Hats Off for Cancer - About Page, accessed November 22, 2012〕
==History==
The organization was founded in 1996 by Tara A. Lawrence, whose grandfather died from prostate cancer in 1992.〔(), Pepperdine University Graphic - "Caps for kids with cancer", accessed November 22, 2012〕 Lawrence initially volunteered with the American Cancer Society, where she was exposed to children battling cancer who were especially upset about losing their hair from chemotherapy. HOC was born when Lawrence began soliciting hat donations from companies, public officials, celebrities, schools, and civic organizations.
