One of the most well-known colors and symbols associated with charity and medical research is the pink ribbon. It is the internationally known symbol for breast cancer awareness and research. The Pink Ribbon Patch - Embroidered Iron On Or Sew patch is perfect for showing your dedication to eradicating breast cancer. Those who support research, have a friend or family member dealing with this illness, or have dealt with it themselves may wish to add this pink ribbon to their jackets or vests. You'll find this patch in the Pink Ribbon Patches category, which is a new addition to The Cheap Place.
The pink ribbon was first used in connection with breast cancer awareness and research in 1991. The Susan G. Komen Foundation handed out pink ribbons to those who participated in its New York City breast cancer charity race. The next year, the pink ribbon became the official symbol of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Later, the Women's International Motorcycle Association and several other women's motorcycle clubs were inspired by charity walks and races and so have created Pink Ribbon Rides. The funds raised by these charity rides all go to breast cancer research.
This pink ribbon patch measures three inches tall and 1.25 inches wide. It's done in two shades of pink and is outlined in black. The black die cut border makes it easy to sew it on to leather and other materials. If you're not putting it on leather, you can iron it on using the plastic heat-activated adhesive.
