Hats On For Healthcare 

The 12th annual Hats on for Healthcare campaign will take place March 31 - April 28, 2021!
This year we have some exciting new ways you can show your support for healthcare in your community!

Hats on for Healthcare has raised over $400,000 for programs and services at Windsor Regional Hospital.
We are happy to announce that this year's campaign will raise funds for COVID-19 Equipment Needs.

Participating in the 2021 Hats On For Healthcare campaign is a great way to support Windsor Regional Hospital and show the community that you, your company, or organization, together with your employees, care about local healthcare. Thousands of dollars are raised by organizations, companies, schools, retailers, and municipalities, who participate and encourage their staff to join in and raise awareness and funds for the cause!

Hats On For Healthcare is a simple, fun, and fashionable way to raise money. By contributing to the campaign you or your business have the opportunity to wear your favorite hat and share with us through social media.  If you can't wear a hat, no problem! We can provide pins and stickers so you can still participate and show your support. We appreciate all those who wear a hat, have fun and make a difference for health care in our community.
