FUNDRAISERS are being encouraged to don their caps on Flat Cap Friday.

BTRS (Brain Tumour Research and Support across Yorkshire) is inviting supporters to wear their flat caps on any Friday in March to raise awareness, and funds for BTRS to continue its vital research as well as supporting those affected by a brain tumour.

Whether it is an afternoon tea or quiz night or a charity ball or even the wackiest flat cap competition, the aim is to don your cap and show your support.

Sorrell Coulson, BTRS Events & Fundraising Manager says: "We launched Flat Cap Friday two years ago as a celebration of the amazing brain tumour research going on in Yorkshire and this year we want to make the campaign even bigger, with support from the whole of Yorkshire.

"Your Flat Cap Friday event can be as small or grand as you want it to be. The important thing is that we all come together to raise awareness and funds for a local charity focused on supporting those in Yorkshire who are affected by a brain tumour, as well as funding research to find improved treatments. If we all put our flat caps together, we can make a huge difference!’"

To get involved call BTRS on 0113 340 0111 or email caroline@btrs.org.uk.
