Almost everyone knows what the pink ribbon stands for. It has been used in the battle against cancer for years, most notably by the Susan G. Komen Foundation. It was based on the red ribbon used for AIDS awareness, and the pink and the red ribbons were two of the first to be used to show support and awareness for particular illnesses. The Cheap Place has a whole category dedicated to Pink Ribbon Patches so you have several options for showing your support for breast cancer research and awareness. The Medium Sized Pink Ribbon Patch is a good sized patch that will certainly stand out and looks very nice.
This medium sized ribbon measures two inched wide and is about 4.5 inches tall. That's a bit larger than some of the other patches on the site. You can pair this pink ribbon with other cancer awareness patches or you can use wear it with other, different patches that show different causes you support. The pink ribbon is generally used to support breast cancer awareness in both men and women, although there is a pink and blue ribbon that is rarely used to symbolize breast cancer awareness in men.
If you have survived breast cancer or if you have a friend or family member who has, honor their struggle by adding this pink ribbon patch to your jacket or vest. The plastic backing on this patch features a heat-activated glue, so it can be ironed on to most materials. If you're putting it on leather, sew it on using the die cut black borders.
