Calling all Creators- Get creative for a good cause.
This exciting campaign has bought together communities to create for a cause, so we can raise much needed funds to support individuals and whānau living with a brain tumour.
We are excited to bring back Brainy Beanies for 2025 and this year we are taking the beanies to Christchurch for the first time in May and back to the Fieldays in Hamilton in June.
Every Beanie sale goes towards funding our Brain Boxes which we send out for free to people diagnosed with Brain Tumours in New Zealand
For anyone who has experienced a sore head of any kind, you’ll remember that you reached for a beanie. They are warm, soft, give you a sense of pride and most importantly, comfort.
For that reason, Brain Tumour Support NZ is in the Beanie business. We need your help. Please. We want every Beanie to be unique.
‘Call for creatives to donate artworks’
Every Beanie is handmade, created with love, by someone who cares, for someone who will be very grateful. This is a fundraising campaign for us and we are so thankful for all creative donations. Donated Beanies will be for sale via our website and become our focal merchandise, as well as some being given in the Brain Box care packages that we gift to people newly diagnosed with a brain tumour. Each Beanie will have a Brainy Beanie tag sewn onto it, just to show how special it is. Please get creative: knit, crochet, felt, go all arty, whatever you like, to make a Beanie someone would love to wear. Adult or child, large or small, brain tumours do not discriminate.
Hightop, cuffless, brimmer, trawler, hipster, pompom, cuffed... are all words associated with Beanies and therefore too hard for us to determine what you will create or set a pattern, use your imagination.
Selling Beanies at your workplace
Does your business or workplace want to support Brain Tumour Support NZ? You can help raise awareness by selling beanies! We’ll send you a crate of beanies to sell—just reach out to arrange delivery.
All beanies come in mixes of adult and children. They are all tagged and labelled with instructions of how to pay for the beanies online so all you need to do is display the unique creations in your workplace. Find out how it works through the link below
Please Send your finished beanies to:
