It started with a shirt.
Cabin No. 4 owner, Kate Hansen, was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2022. Her personal mantra is “I can do hard things”, and she is taking on breast cancer with the same attitude and determination.
Friends encouraged Kate to design a shirt that they could wear to show their love and support. They wanted the shirts to benefit the family, but Kate wasn’t comfortable with that. She decided instead that 100% of proceeds from the pre-orders would go to a local charity that supports cancer-fighters.
Kate also didn’t want the shirts just to be about her, or just about cancer. Everyone is fighting a battle and has a mountain to climb, so she decided to make the shirts about ALL the hard things that people are doing.
The initial pre-order FAR exceeded Kate’s expectations, selling over 700 shirts in just a week. From there, other products and collaborations were born. Now, a percentage of the proceeds from all of these products go to the American Cancer Society and the Jonathan Zierdt Cancer Fund. So far, the efforts have raised almost $8000!
