Using ribbons to draw attention to a cause has been around since the Middle Ages, but the color of the ribbons did not become meaningful until later. The first modern day awareness ribbon was used by Penney Laingen and her family & friends in the 1970s. They tied yellow ribbons around trees to signify their belief that Penney's husband (a hostage in Iran) would come home. The use of ribbons grew from there with well known examples being a red ribbon for AIDS and a pink ribbon for breast cancer. Ribbons in all colors are now used to represent support and awareness for various causes. These symbols can be seen on all types of products from buttons, to bags, and even pens. The Awareness Grip Ballpoint Pen is a great way to promote your company or non-profit's awareness campaign. It features a 1.875"w x .5"h imprint area for your organization's information, while the ribbon color of your choice is featured on the pen's grip. This is an excellent item to put in an Awareness Ribbon Shopper with other thank you gifts for sponsors of your event or hand it out to donors at your next fundraiser.
