| HEADWEAR MEANS
A LOT TO MANY PEOPLE
Hats continue to make people happy -
Take a look:
New Orleans based non-profit organization - Caps
for Kids - continues to persuade high-profile
celebrities to donate signed baseball caps to
children who have lost their hair from cancer
treatment. Rapper EMINEM donated signed baseball
caps to the charity, and reportedly so have Brad
Pitt, Al Pacino, Julia Roberts, Tony Hawk and
Vin Diesel.
In Winnebago, Wisconsin a group of 100 volunteers
knit and crochet headwear for cancer patients.
The group, called Stitches of Love,
is run through the Winnebago County Association
of Home and Community Education.
 The
group is now in their fifth year of making hats
and headbands for those who need them. From 2002
to 2005 the group delivered 5,300 pieces of headwear,
said Janet Hansen, project coordinator for Stitches
of Love.
 Stitches
of Love collects high quality material
from donors and has fundraisers. If you have anything
