About Us

The Doorways’ Fancy Hat Party was started in 1997 to benefit our cancer-patient guests, with a goal of increasing our supply of soft, warm hats for patients who experience the chills during and after their daily cancer treatments. Over the past eighteen years, the event has expanded to now include a hat contest, fashion show, raffle, and celebrity guest speaker. Proceeds from the event not only help provide warm, soft hats, but now also support the lodging, meals, transportation and emotional support of our cancer patient guests and loved ones.
