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.
