Ears To You is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit that lifts the spirits of cancer patients by providing a moment of joy and hope. We provide these smile-inducing moments by donation beautiful new earrings, hats, books and headscarves to cancer patients of all ages (kids to adults), with any type of cancer. We distribute our earrings, hats and headscarves at no cost to the patients and work with 24 hospital partners and individual patients. Ears To You was founded by Ruth Crane while she was undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. She found that little things like earrings make her feel more "normal" and attractive as she dealt with hair loss from her treatments. Started at the Cleveland Clinic in June 2008, ETY has expanded to hospitals throughout Northeast Ohio, as well as other states, and has donated over 27,000 pairs of earrings, and thousands of books, hats and headscarves individually.to brighten the day of cancer patients. Ruth aspires to inspire other cancer patients by donating these gifts which in turn make patients feel supported, joyful, and hopeful for healthier days.
