Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness Party Supplies

Show Your Support for Breast Cancer Awareness and Survivors!

Whether you're hosting a breast cancer awareness fundraiser, a post-race gathering or you want to throw a party to honor a survivor in your life, the right decorations will help convey hope, strength and courage.

The Pink Ribbon

The Susan G. Komen Foundation is credited with first promoting pink as the color for breast cancer awareness ¿ first as pink visors for survivor runners in their Race for the Cure and then later in the form of ribbons. The easily identifiable image of the pink ribbon quickly became an international symbol of breast cancer awareness.

Think Pink

Pink is more than a pretty color. For breast cancer survivors and their loved ones, pink stands for courage and the desire to halt breast cancer through preventative steps and effective treatment. When you use pink ribbon decorations at your gathering, you're presenting so much more than a pretty color; you're making a statement.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Beyond

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, making it an excellent choice for timing for a pink ribbon party. Host a party to raise awareness or to honor a survivor. But there are other dates that merit a pink ribbon party:

1. World Cancer Day February 4 is the day the entire world turns thoughts to how cancer impacts the lives of people around the globe.
2. International Women's Day March 8 celebrates women and their unique contributions to society. And while breast cancer isn't exclusive to women, men are far less likely to get breast cancer, making it a cause closely tied to women.
3. World Health Day April 7 is an international day set aside for global health awareness issues. In most countries, breast cancer ranks at the top of newly diagnosed cancers among women.
4. National Mammography Day October 20 is set aside as a day to remind women to schedule their mammograms ¿ a screening that is proven to reduce cancer deaths.

Honor a Survivor on National Cancer Survivor Day

The first Sunday in June is National Cancer Survivor Day. This is a great opportunity to celebrate the breast cancer survivor in your life with a pink ribbon celebration! The gathering can be two-fold: honoring the survivor while also promoting awareness. A pink ribbon photo booth and supplies to celebrate survivors and supporters will help get everyone into the pink ribbon spirit. Don't forget the pink candy buffet and pink ribbon party favors for your guests!

Everyday Awareness

Breast cancer awareness can be every day with pink ribbon items. Drink from a pink ribbon tumbler, wear a breast cancer awareness bracelet, and display pink awareness yard signs. Every bit of awareness helps! Help the women around you learn the importance of prevention and screening.

Pink ribbon party decoration are more than decorations ¿ they're advocacy!
