About the day

A Sunday Funday for a great cause.

A guest in a custom white hat overlooking a Mediterranean city — vacation vibes
Wine, snacks, and hats our guests will keep for years.

Just in time for football season, we gathered over wine and snacks while Haley and the Hay Love Designs team helped every guest pick the 5 embellishments that made their hat totally unique — and a perfect fit.

Shops in Charleston and Nashville charge $300–$500 for the same experience. Here, the hat, the drinks, the food, and a donation to Live Like London were all wrapped into one ticket — and every dollar raised went straight to families in crisis.

Clemson fans showed off their orange and purple. Gamecocks went garnet and black. Others planned ahead and built volunteer hats for the golf tournament and the Carolina Cup. Every single one came out different.

What guests took home

One ticket, everything included.

Every ticket covered the hat, the drinks, the snacks — and a donation to the Live Like London Foundation.

A custom hat

Designed one-on-one with Haley, five embellishments chosen by each guest.

Wine & snacks

An easy Sunday afternoon at Bistro on Boulevard with friends old and new.

100% to the mission

Every dollar raised went to families facing traumatic illness, injury, or loss.

Hat inspiration

A few we loved.

Every hat got 5 embellishments picked by its owner. No two came out the same. A look at designs from Hay Love Designs and the hats our guests made.

Thank you

Every hat helped a family.

To everyone who came out, to Haley and the Hay Love Designs team, and to Bistro on Boulevard — thank you. The need doesn’t pause between events, though. If this day meant something to you, you can keep it going today.
