Ribbons for everything
We all know that a red ribbon stands for AIDS awareness, and a pink one represents breast cancer awareness. But did you know that an orchid ribbon represents awareness of testicular cancer; a teal ribbon represents ovarian cancer and substance abuse; and a green ribbon represents bone marrow donation, childhood depression, environment, Lyme’s disease, organ donation, tissue donation, and/or worker safety?
All these and more are listed at Personalized Cause. (They sell pins, too.) And it turns out that, besides AIDS and HIV, a red ribbon also represents D.A.R.E., MADD, Epidermolysis Bullosa, and lymphoma. Who knew?
