Hats On For Awareness is an Ontario based charity that is committed to raising awareness and funds to further the reach of mental health programs. We seek to enhance the lives of those living with and affected by mental illness and addictions, as well as promoting mental wellness and health.
We believe that mental health is a vital component to overall wellness, and we need to make it a priority in our personal, business, and community lives. We need to raise awareness and consistently battle against the stigma of mental health, and fund the programs to give real access to mental health for all. We raise funds that help break barriers to ensure local mental health and wellness programs can be accessible to more individuals. We believe access to mental health programs is not a privilege for some, but is a right for all.
HOA raises funds to invest in organizations that are breaking barriers to ensure local mental health and wellness programs can be offered to more individuals. Simply put, we all need access to mental health care.
We are proud to have raised over 3 million to further the awareness and support of mental health programs.
16 years ago, our founders were impacted personally by a mental health crisis of a family member. Seeing the importance of mental health programs but also the lack of awareness and access for some, they were convicted to give back and create real change. The decision to be the change meant starting a charity with a mental health focus. Putting on a hat was a gesture that symbolized the commitment to be involved in the breaking of barriers to mental health through the raising of funds to support programs for those that need it most. “Hats On” continues to be our symbol and call to action.
Since its creation, Hats On For Awareness have raised over $3 million. The need is continuing to grow, so our work is important. Hats On For Awareness hosts fundraisers and events, including the annual Hatsquerade Gala, and we have achieved a support network of over 3000+ individuals.
