HI! As most all of you know October is Breast Cancer Awarness Month. Ozark Leather Co. has recently come out with Breast cancer Awareness ribbons.. now this is not your typical ribbon. It’s about 6in long & made of pink leather with a pink leather loop on the end for hanging. THESE ARE REALLY NICE!!!! These are saddle charms much like the crosses you see many people with.They can be hung from your saddle horn, flank slats , breast collar dees , the tie keepers rearview mirros…etc. Bascially where ever you can think of to hang them. I have ordered a lot b/c 22% of the sales from these ribbons is going straight to the BCA foundation!!!! If any of you are interested in purchasing one of these charms let me know. They will retail for roughly 9.99 while it may seem like a lot is really not, b/c don’t forget 22% (that’s $2.19 exactly) of that goes to the BCA foundations! It’s for a great cause. I am buying one b/c it runs in my family & 2 of my good friends have been affected by it.

Cancer Awareness Ribbon Pins
Most people are familiar with the pink cancer awareness ribbons that symbolize breast cancer, it seems that these pink beauties are everywhere. But, did you know that there are many other kinds them out there that represent different kinds of cancer that affect women all around the world? You might have seen one or two different colored pins and not even known what they meant. Here are some of the other colors of cancer awareness ribbons so you will know what they mean the next time that you see them:
Teal This color of cancer awareness ribbons are for ovarian cancer. While this cancer isn’t as prevalent as breast cancer, its numbers are, unfortunately, on the rise. So, when you see a teal cancer awareness ribbon or pin, you will know what they stand for.
Peach This color of cancer awareness ribbons are for uterine cancer. This type of cancer is also not one that is mentioned much, but is a killer if not detected early enough and fought correctly.
Lavender This color of are for gynecological cancer. This encompasses several different kinds of cancers, from ovarian to cervical, basically anything that has to do with the female reproductive organs falls under this category.
Teal and White This color are for cervical cancer. This cancer is hard to detect as well, unless it is screened for, but, when caught early, can be removed and treated.
All of these cancer awareness ribbons and pins are different colors to distinguish between the different types of cancer. It helps for survivors and loved ones to spread their message of hope and survival to those who may not have heard of this particular type of cancer and make sure that other women have their screenings to ensure that they catch these potentially fatal diseases early enough for treatments to be effective. So, the next time that you see different colored cancer awareness ribbon pins, be sure to ask the wearer about it and share their story with you. It might just be the motivation that you need to see your doctor and get screened or to push a friend or family member to get their screening. After all, women are more likely to push their friends and family to get in to see their doctors sooner than later. And, like the breast cancer pins and other types of cancer awareness merchandise, most of the proceeds go toward research and the search for a cure.
How Can I Go About Changing The Color Of A Specific Cause’s Awareness Ribbon?
As most of you probably know, the colors of the Awareness Ribbons cover MANY different causes! For example, the yellow ribbon represents Adoptive Parents, Deployed Soldiers, Endometriosis, Equality, Hope, Liver Cancer, Liver Disease, Missing Children, Missing Persons, Suicide Prevention, Testicular Cancer, and Childhood Cancer… Is there a way that an individual can change the color for a specific cause? If so, HOW? Who or what organization do I need to address? I’m at a loss here, so I thought I’d see if anyone else has tried (or succeeded) at this same task.
What Color Should The “cause Ribbon” For “dumbf*ck Awareness” Be?
The purpose is to raise awareness of the problem of people believing that marches, cause ribbons, etc. actually make a difference.
“raising awareness”doesn’t do any good if all the people who become aware just participate in the next awareness raising event.
(insert mildly startling statistic or anecdote)
It’s Time to take a stand!
My organization is going to change the world with the revolutionary tools of cause ribbons and student walkouts!
But seriously, what color should our ribbons be?
