From the nationalbreastcancer.org website:
While the pink ribbon is a well-recognized symbol of breast cancer, awareness and support, many different awareness ribbons, representing many different types of cancers, exist. You might be surprised to learn that more than 50 ribbons represent different cancers and their survivors and caregivers today.
But where did it all start? Awareness ribbons initially sprang from a 1970s tune, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree,” which inspired the wife of a hostage in Iran to tie yellow ribbons around trees in an effort to heighten awareness and bring her husband home. In the 1990s, AIDS activists brought the red ribbon to life. Since the 1990s, ribbons have decorated the chests and homes of many cancer patients, families, and friends as an outward show of support and compassion.
Ribbons of all hues
In addition to pink for breast cancer, a rainbow of ribbons mark months of awareness and action for other types of cancers. Some of these include:
- Bladder cancer (May): Yellow, purple, and navy
