Awareness Pins
In an age where promoting social causes has become not only important but also imperative for all educated individuals of the world, awareness pins have emerged as one of the most faithful comrades in all missions. Who can defy the adage that action speaks louder than words? Awareness pins give you a voice to express your support to a cause without having to say a word. You can express your solidarity to a million people out there and tell them that you understand them and are with them without for once having to open your mouth. With an awareness pin pinned to your lapel, whether you are walking a crowded subway, watching a theatre performance, or sitting in a half empty public bus; you are letting all those around you know what your convictions are.An awareness pin does not need to be elaborate or very flashy. In fact, more often than not, it is a mere ribbon with a simple knot with a pin to be pinned to your lapel. The colors of these ribbons are internationally agreed upon. Their color defines the cause that they seek to support. One color though can stand for a number of causes.
The dark blue ribbon is for arthritis, child abuse, colon cancer, crime victim right, education concerns, free speech and water quality. The light blue ribbon is for eating disorders, men's health, pregnancy, prostrate cancer and thyroid. The brown ribbon is for cancer and the great American smoke out. The gray ribbon is for asthma awareness, mental awareness, brain tumor, children with allergies and diabetes. The green ribbon is for bone marrow donation, childhood depression, environmental issues, glaucoma, kidney cancer, and leukemia, mental retardation, missing children, multiple chemical sensitivity, organ donation and safe driving. The other recognized colors are pink, red, orange, maroon, lavender, purple, teal, silver, white and yellow.
These pins can also be customized according to the requirements of a particular organization. They can be easily purchased at very nominal rates from a number of online stores.
