What Each Awareness Ribbon Color Means for Your Custom Challenge Coins

A symbol translates well into any language.  More importantly, it can be used to evoke emotion, encourage action, and educate those who seek more information.  Universal symbols like the famous pink ribbon used by breast cancer charities and worn by supporters of all ages, signify hope.  The selling of merchandise with different colors of ribbons helps raise funds and awareness about a specific cause or issue.

So, what do all the colors mean and how do they apply to your custom challenge coin order?  Here are some of the initiatives and groups using awareness ribbon shaped coins to identify their cause and to shed light on the issues going on around them:
