Breast Cancer Pink Ribbon

The use of the breast cancer pink ribbon first became a symbol of international breast cancer awareness in 1991. The idea developed as a takeoff from the yellow ribbons used to support army troops.

The use of it is most prevalent during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During this time of the year fund raisers are held to support various causes pertaining to further research for treatment of this potentially fatal disease.

This ribbon is often used in educational presentations about why women should examine them selves at least once a month. It is a symbol of prevention as well as it is a symbol of awareness.

The breast cancer pink ribbon was first printed on a U.S. postage stamp in 1996. However, it did not sell as well as the new Breast Cancer Awareness Stamp that promotes research and does not use the ribbon symbol.

The use of this object to represent breast cancer awareness continues to grow. Certain fund raisers are displayed in public places such as grocery stores or concert halls.

New developments are made regarding the treatment and prevention of breast cancer nearly every single day. Moreover, organizations such as the Pink Ribbon International have banded together to help further the education about this very serious woman’s health issue.
