Headbands of Hope is a Raleigh, North Carolina-based retailer in the fashion accessories space. The company donates a headband to a child with cancer for every item sold. It was founded in 2012 by college student Jess Ekstrom and has since expanded to distribution in more than 1,000 stores across the United States and Canada. 

It operates as a small organization with a focus on social impact, including hosting proms at children’s hospitals and running the #BandTogether program, which partners with a childhood cancer charity to donate proceeds from sales. To date, it has donated over 100,000 headbands to every children’s hospital in the United States and to facilities in six other countries. In May 2017, Headbands of Hope co-launched Hope Blooms, a floral headband line developed with Sweaty Bands.
