Many events associated with Down Syndrome have adopted the blue and yellow Awareness Ribbon as an iconic symbol and observance. Down syndrome is the most common genetic condition. One in every 733 babies is born with Down syndrome. By clicking on the ribbon link in this post, you will find many options for making your own blue and yellow ribbons to wear while you attend some of the events. You may also want to wear it to share your feelings about those affected with Down Syndrome and encourage others to get involved in supporting the financial needs associated with it.
Many styles of shirts and merchandise are also used to raise money with portions of their profits going directly to the organization to help with research and providing for families affected.events.
Check out the Facebook page for the National Down Syndrome Society. This is a quote from that page. “Throughout the months of September and October, My Great Story of the Week will be Buddy Walk themed! Submit your story for a chance to be picked!”
There is an event schedule on the http://www.ndss.org web site. The Buddy Walk* is an event to raise money for families living with and helping loved ones with Down Syndrome. 
“The Buddy Walk® was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome and to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October. The Buddy Walk® has grown from 17 Walks in its first year to 270 Walks in 2009, with approximately 250,000 walkers per year. Since 1995, more than 2 million people have participated in the Buddy Walk® program worldwide. In 2009, the Buddy Walk® raised over $10 million to benefit local programs and services, as well as national advocacy initiatives.”
September Awareness Ribbon Causes
Ovarian Cancer uses Teal Ribbon color for September
Awareness Ribbons are a universal symbol to show support for a cause that is important. The color varies from cause to cause. Many colors share the same cause. Everyone knows someone with an illness that needs help. Wearing a ribbon will invite questions and you can share your information with them about your cause.
I have listed many causes that are running campaigns in September. This is not an exhausted list. I know there have been some I have missed. I have included the link to contact these various health foundations for more information. Get involved, raise awareness for an important cause, It could raise money for research that finally develops a cure.
Making an awareness ribbon is very easy, just cut a 6″length of grosgrain or satin ribbon, loop it around, and attach it with a tiny pin to your shirt or jacket.

Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon
There are numerous days throughout a year that are set apart to bring awareness to a particular cause. Pink is the national symbol for Breast Cancer Awareness. Many years ago the pink Ribbon became a national symbol for raising awareness for breast cancer. Ribbons have been used to show unity for a cause on the part of the wearer with the specific cause since the early to late 20th Century. Pink Ribbons (and the color pink) are used to express support for those who are diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Many forms of pink ribbons are now available. You can make your own very easily and proudly pin it to your blouse. Early detection is the key to fighting this disease. You can wear a pink ribbon to show your support and when someone asks you what your thoughts are about this cause, you can encourage your friends to get an annual mammogram. Education is vital and there are many websites and resources that can help you become informed. I am including this link as a resource that can help you stay informed of the latest developments in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Lyme Disease - is the most common tick-borne disease in the North; Some Early symptoms to watch for are fever, headache, fatigue, depression, and a recognizable circular skin rash called erythema migrans. Left untreated, later symptoms may involve the joints, heart, and central nervous system. In most cases, the infection and its symptoms are eliminated by antibiotics, especially if the illness is treated early. Many of our family members have contracted this in past years during camping season. Early detection is the key, much worse symptoms if untreated and can cause death. Here are some other causes that share lime green.
Muscular Dystrophy
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Wearing an Awareness ribbon is a great way to show support for your cause and raise awareness of the situation. The ribbon will provoke conversation and you can then share your thoughts with them.
Many causes have fund raising events, special campaigns, or simply ask for prayer for those involved.
Making an awareness ribbon is simple, just cut a 6 inch length of ribbon, loop it around and attach it to your top with a tiny pin. A double faced satin ribbon works very well for this.
The Yellow Awareness Ribbon has several meanings.
Here is a short list of the most common.
• Deployed soldiers (”support our troops”)
• Suicide awareness and prevention
• Endometriosis awareness
Wearing an Awareness Ribbon is a great way to show your support and raise awareness for a cause that is important to you.
The Satin ribbon, Grosgrain ribbon or Printed Ribbon can be easily cut to 3” in length depending on the size you decide to make, folded and pinned with a small gold safety pin.
There is a complete list of awareness ribbon colors listed in previous posts on our blog in January, February and March. Links to the specific organizations are also posted in January, February and March.. You can just click the links in those months and it will take you to each site.
I do realize that it is probably not a complete list. It has been a long search to find the causes and colors we have listed and it is quite long. If you have a cause that is not listed, please contact us by clicking the ribbon link in the post so we can add it and find the right color ribbon for you.

Support your cause and increase awareness by wearing a ribbon.
July 18–25.
More than 12 million Americans have severe leg pains called restless leg syndrome (RLS), and this education and awareness week, sponsored by the Pharmacy Council on Women’s Health, is a means to educate and to call attention to various treatments and diagnoses to assist patients with this problem.
RLS causes a sensation in the legs or arms that can most closely be compared to a burning, itching, or tickling sensation in the muscles. Some controversy surrounds the marketing of drug treatments for RLS. It is a ’spectrum’ disease with some people experiencing only a minor annoyance and others experiencing major issues.
A Dark Blue Awareness Ribbon is the color chosen to show awareness for RLS. Although others also use blue for their cause, just wearing the ribbon will allow conversation opportunities to discuss your cause.
Many of the items you may need to create your own version of this idea can be found on our website by clicking on the ribbon link in my post. If you don’t see exactly what you are looking for, please call the phone number on that page.
The meaning behind the awareness ribbon depends on its color or colors. Many groups have adopted ribbons as symbols of support or awareness, and as a result, many causes often share each color. Some causes may also be represented by more than one color.
Chiari Malformation, Sarcoidosis, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Show religious tolerance, Promoting remembrance and awareness of violence against women, Domestic violence awareness, Childhood stroke awareness, Cystic fibrosis awareness, Alzheimer’s disease awareness, Pancreatic cancer awareness, Workers’ Memorial Day, Epilepsy awareness (lavender)
Many of the items you may need to create your own version of this idea can be found on our website by clicking on the ribbon link in my post. If you don’t see exactly what you are looking for, please call the phone number on that page.
Wearing Awareness Ribbons are a great way to show your support for a cause that is important to you. The Satin, Grosgrain or Printed Ribbon can be easily cut to 3” in length depending on the size you decide to make, folded and pinned with a small gold safety pin. Here is a list of awareness ribbon colors and I do realize that it is probably not a complete list. It has been a long search to find the causes and colors we have listed below.
