At Headbands of Hope, for every item sold, a headband is donated to a child with cancer. 

The company was founded by college student, Jess Ekstrom, in 2012. Today, Headbands of Hope is in over 1,000 stores across the United States and Canada. They've been featured on the TODAY Show, Forbes, Seventeen, Vanity Fair, People Magazine, Good Morning America and the headbands have been worn and supported by celebrities such as Lauren Conrad, Lea Michele, Molly Sims, Tiffani Thiessen and more. But their biggest accomplishment has been donating over 100,000 headbands to every children's hospital in America and across 6 countries. 
 
In the past year, the company has launched impact initiatives such as hosting proms and children's hospitals and starting their #BandTogether program where they partner with a childhood cancer charity and donate proceeds from sales to their mission. They've also joined hands with art therapy by having the patients create their own headbands with the flower crown kits they provide.
