Awareness Ribbon Schedule for May

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.

If you are interested in purchasing ribbons for a Fund Raising event, please contact us, by clicking the ribbon link above, with the information so we can help you find the ribbon and the quantity you need.  You can have your cause printed on the ribbon that will help show your support even more.

Here are the scheduled Awareness causes I have found for May.
