Love Your Melon was founded in an entrepreneurship class at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota by two friends, Zachary and Brian, who wanted to start a business with a meaningful and positive social impact. On a mission to improve the lives of children battling cancer since October 22nd, 2012, Love Your Melon began with the simple idea of putting a hat on every child battling cancer in America.
After achieving the original goal of giving 45,000 hats, one for every child battling cancer in America, Love Your Melon set a new goal of giving one million dollars to pediatric cancer research, providing immediate support to children and their families. To date, they have given $6.2 million + to the fight against pediatric cancer and over 180,000 hats to children battling cancer.
Fifty percent (50%) of net profit from the sale of all Love Your Melon products is given to support charitable programming through the Love Your Melon Fund and the nonprofits they support. Together, they create therapeutic experiences and fund charitable programming initiatives for children and families battling cancer.
Love Your Melon products are made in the United States of America and Canada. They are passionate about producing high-quality products, creating jobs here in our country and emphasizing their value of community.
Their knit products are manufactured in the United States and Canada, using 100% cotton that is soft and comfortable for children battling cancer.
