Sponsors, let's talk early.
Sponsorship is how this thing stays free to show up to and sends every donated dollar to Ellie's Hats. Locking in early means we can build your logo into the shirts, the signage and the stage from day one.
- $50,775 raised in 2026, on a $45K goal
- $215K raised since this started on a front porch
- 10 sponsors backed the 2026 party
Thank You To
Our Sponsors
These companies put real money behind a backyard party because it helps kids fighting cancer. Please give them your business — and join them in 2027.
Keep it going.
Kids are diagnosed every day of the year, not just the day we throw a party. Ellie's Hats takes donations all year long, and every dollar goes to the families living through it.
