Awareness ribbons, due to their nature, have come to symbolize various concerns depending on the color or the patterns used. For example, black ribbons may be used for mourning.
Yellow ribbons, in the United States, are used to show that a close family member is abroad in military service. In Russia, Belarus and other countries of the former USSR gold and black striped ribbons are used to celebrate the Allies' victory in World War II.
Of the uses of ribbons to draw awareness to health issues, perhaps the best-known is the red ribbon for support of those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Other health and social concerns which have adopted coloured ribbons include Alzheimer's disease (purple), Breast Cancer (pink), bipolar disorder (green), and brain disorder or disability (silver).
This particular gray ribbon patch is to show support for brain cancer and it's available to purchase here at TheCheapPlace. We have many other ribbon awareness patches available as well.
