Awareness ribbons are short pieces of colored ribbon folded into a loop, or representations of such. They are used as a way for wearers of the ribbon(s) to support and draw awareness to a specific cause or issue. The meaning behind the awareness ribbon depends on its color(s). One of the most well-known ribbons is the pink ribbon, which denotes breast cancer awareness. However, because many groups have adopted ribbons as symbols of support or awareness, many causes often share the same color. In some cases, causes may also be represented by more than one color.

Although awareness ribbon colors may have multiple associated meanings, below we have listed only the awareness ribbons associated with different forms of cancer awareness. If you want to submit a ribbon color and it’s awareness meaning, please contact us today.
