Love your Melon hosted a sale at the University of Minnesota Duluth Monday.

The organization donates hats to children battling cancer and has reserved more than 45,000 hats to donate.

That number is equal to the number of children currently undergoing cancer treatment.

“We’ve had great support from the Duluth community, and we wouldn’t have been as successful as we are today without them. “ said Nichole Jacko, public relations manager of UMD’s Love Your Melon campus crew.

Because Love Your Melon has reached its goal in the number of hats, it also donates 50 percent of proceeds to cancer research.  

UMD also plans to hold a “Melon Monday” sale once a month.
