In 2012, two college students at The University of St. Thomas in St. Paul Minnesota created Love Your Melon in an entrepreneur class. It all began with one mission in mind: putting a hat on every child battling cancer.
Flash forward to today: Love Your Melon has donated over 110,000 hats as well as donated $2,678,259 to non profits. 50% of profit from Love Your Melon sales is given to Love Your Melon’s non profit partners. Those partners include: Be The Match, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Make A Wish, The Ronald McDonald House and more.
In all 50 states, there are Love Your Melon campus crews. A total of 840 crews and 13,500 members: with my crew being one of them.
Here at DePaul University, we have our Love Your Melon campus crew. Our crew has spent quite a few days with different children battling different types of cancers. We work together as a tight knit crew of friends to ensure a perfect day based on what the children like; so they can go at least one day without having to worry about their struggle.
