Proceeds from the sale of Imperial’s Breast Cancer Collection are given to the NBCF, saving lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing mammograms for those in need. To date, Imperial has generated over $3,000 for the NBCF to support the fight against Breast Cancer.
In addition to caps, visors, head covers and a valuables pouch bearing the signature pink ribbon, Imperial has added a new Mini Pouch and Divot Tool.

"Imperial is truly privileged to support the NBCF," said S. Garrett Stonehouse, Chairman of Imperial Headwear. "We have all been moved by a Mother, Sister or friend who has fought Breast Cancer. Partnering with a great organization, like the NBCF, is a wonderful way to help and make a difference in the continuing battle against Breast Cancer."
"Imperial Headwear has been a wonderful supporter and has shown their compassion for women everywhere, by partnering with NBCF in the fight against breast cancer. We are deeply grateful for their generosity, and are proud to be associated with them." Janelle Hail, CEO of the NBCF.
