Hope Scarves is an international non-profit organization based in Louisville. The mission is to support people facing cancer through scarves, stories and research. This is done by collecting scarves and stories from cancer survivors and passing them on to others in treatment.

Realizing research is key to truly changing the way people experience cancer, Hope Scarves also invests in metastatic breast cancer research – raising and investing $1.3 million dollars since 2016 in basic, translational, and clinical research.
