Fri, 30 Sep 2011 09:00:00 -0700 Breast Cancer Awareness: Ideas For Small Businesses To Support The Cause http://siennapacific.posterous.com/breast-cancer-awareness-ideas-for-small-busin http://siennapacific.posterous.com/breast-cancer-awareness-ideas-for-small-busin

If you're a business owner and you're looking for ways to support breast cancer, there're many ways you can help the cause and encourage other to do so. If you don't have a big budget don't worry, there're many alternatives and you don't need to break your check account to do it.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it's the perfect opportunity for you to be part of this global movement and give back to your community. Below some ideas that may help you in getting creative and choose the best one for your company.

  1. You can add a recorded message to your phone lines that gives facts about breast cancer, ideas for how to support research, or tips on self checks. You probably can get a doctor to record the message for free.
  2. Organize an educational event for your employees, customers, or the public in general that talks about how early detection can make the disease more survivable.
  3. Silent auctions are a great way to have fun while raising money for breast cancer awareness.  Ask employees to donate items, and then allow them to bid on each other’s items.  You can also ask that they donate time or talents.
  4. Sporting tournaments are another popular idea, such as golf or tennis for example.  Players pay a participation fee, and the money is then donated to a breast cancer research group.  Participants can receive breast cancer pins and certificates thanking them for their donation, and winners should receive some type of prize.
  5. One of the simplest ways to raise awareness is through pink ribbon pins.  You can sell the pins to employees or customers to raise money, and then donate the money.

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 16:00:00 -0700 Ovarian Cancer Pins To Raise Awareness and Support The Cause http://siennapacific.posterous.com/ovarian-cancer-pins-to-raise-awareness-and-su http://siennapacific.posterous.com/ovarian-cancer-pins-to-raise-awareness-and-su

Teal_ribbon_pin
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated on September of each year.


"Ovarian cancer is one of the most deadly of women cancers. For 2010, it was estimated that 21,880 women in the United States alone would be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and at least 13,850 would died from this disease." - Ezine Articles -

To read the complete article please visit: Raising Ovarian Cancer Awareness: Teal Ribbons Pins To Support The Cause

Ovarian cancer can be cured but an early detection is needed and it's everybody responsibility to help to raise awareness. One of the main goals of ovarian cancer's awareness campaigns is to educate women to identify warning signs, consequently, the disease can be diagnosed at an early stage which will increase the chances of cure it.

Anyone can be affected by Ovarian Cancer and there're many ways to support the cause. OvarianCancerAwareness.org has developed several materials to help increase the awareness about ovarian cancer. All material can be downloaded from the website. Visit: http://www.ovariancancerawareness.org/spread.aspx


On the other hand, teal is the color that symbolize Ovarian Cancer. You can wear Teal Ribbon Pins or Teal Silicone Bracelets during the month of September to show your support.

You can also organize a fundraising event to help the cause, for example, a brunch party for women in your community. You can sell tickets for the event and offer some teal awareness products during the event in exchange for a donation. In addition, most likely you can find a doctor to give a talk about ovarian cancer without charges or get some sponsors to collaborate with the food and drinks, therefore, at the end more money will be raised for the cause.

Awareness ribbon pins make a powerful statement! They are a fantastic way to show support for a cause that means a lot to you!

It seems like no matter where you go or what time of year it is, you see awareness ribbon pins. Sometimes they are used in conjunction with some sort of charity, for example, many cancer charities ask for donations in exchange of ribbon pins as a way to raise funds.

From pink ribbons for breast cancer and red ribbons for AIDS, nowadays many causes are supported and represented by an specific ribbon color. To know other popular awareness ribbons and their meanings visit: Awareness Pins.

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 14:12:00 -0700 April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month http://siennapacific.posterous.com/april-is-national-child-abuse-prevention-mont http://siennapacific.posterous.com/april-is-national-child-abuse-prevention-mont

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and it's time to raise awareness about child abuse and neglect and create strong communities to support children and families.

Blue Ribbons have become a symbol of awareness for child abuse prevention month.

"In 1989, the Blue Ribbon Campaign to Prevent Child Abuse began as a Virginia grandmother's tribute to her grandson who died as a result of abuse. She tied a blue ribbon to the antenna of her car as a way to remember him and to alert her community to the tragedy of child abuse. The Blue Ribbon Campaign has since expanded across the country, and many wear blue ribbons each April in memory of those who have died as a result of child abuse. In other communities, special fundraisers are held to support prevention activities and treatment facilities for victims, and candlelight vigils are held as a remembrance. Most recently, the focus has shifted to a more positive message of celebrating "blue ribbon" individuals, organizations, and communities that have done much to prevent child abuse and neglect." - Childwelfare.gov -

To learn more about the history of Child Abuse Prevention Month and to get important information and resources please visit http://www.childwelfare.gov/

Awareness ribbon pins are an effective and economical way to raise awareness in your community about any cause you would like to support. They can be distributed among your friends or at events, conferences and health fairs. By wearing a lapel pin you're showing your concern and commitment and playing an important role in the task of raising awareness and spreading the word for your cause.

Sienna Pacific store carries a variety of colors and styles of awareness pins and silicone bracelets that may work perfect for your project. On the other hand, if you would like to make your awareness pins customized  with a special message or name visit www.lapelpinsdirect.com or call (888) 720- 2115.

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 11:35:00 -0700 Lapel Pins in Action: Lilies for Lillie Campaign http://siennapacific.posterous.com/lapel-pins-in-action-lilies-for-lillie-campai http://siennapacific.posterous.com/lapel-pins-in-action-lilies-for-lillie-campai

I would like to share this story to illustrate how lapel pins can be a valuable addition to any fundraising effort.

The Lilies for Lillie campaign was created by Gord Delaney in memory of his mother Lillie in 2003.

“Lilies for Lillie has raised $250,000 and sold over 55,000 lapel pins over the past seven years and that is truly amazing” says founder Gord Delaney. “The support from the business community and communities around the province is always inspiring. Often times I walk by somebody wearing a LFL lapel pin and I cannot help but smile and think it’s pretty neat that somebody who never met my mother is helping me remember her and celebrate her life.” - The Telegram -

For this year fundraising, Lilies for Lillie has set the goal to raise $ 50,000 that will be equally split and donated to Daffodil Place, Heart and Stroke Foundation and the K-Rock Children’s Trust Fund.

Visit www.lflhome.com for more information.

Every time I read about this kind of stories, I'm amazed for the capacity of some people to turn around, what is maybe a sad moment or a bad experience, to a magnificent effort to help others and moreover to get the entire community involve in the process.

Custom lapel pins can help your fundraising drive Sometimes, it's easier to ask for donations if we can give something in exchange, like a pin for example. By including awareness pins in your campaign you're not only making things easier for the volunteers to ask for contributions, but also, spreading the word about your cause. Anyone wearing your lapel pins will become your ambassadors!

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 10:07:00 -0700 Canadian Cancer Society - Daffodil Lapel Pins To Raise Awareness http://siennapacific.posterous.com/canadian-cancer-society-daffodil-lapel-pins-t http://siennapacific.posterous.com/canadian-cancer-society-daffodil-lapel-pins-t

Flower_pin
April is Daffodil Month!

For this year annual spring fundraising campaign, the Canadian Cancer Society is replacing daffodil live flowers with yellow daffodil lapel pins.

The decision was made with the idea that lapel pins can be worn on clothing all day and create more awareness. While a bouquet of live flowers is beautiful, a person can't walk around with it all day. On the contrary, lapel pins can be worn by anyone on t-shirts, jackets, suits, etc.

"Funds raised through the sale of daffodils enable the cancer society to fund excellence in research on all types of cancer and advocate for healthy public policy, promote healthy lifestyles to help prevent and reduce cancer risk, provide information about cancer and support people living with cancer." - Chatam Daily News -

"The daffodil pin is to be worn as a symbol of courage and support in honour of cancer survivors, loved ones and friends currently on a cancer journey. When you wear a daffodil pin throughout the month of April, you are uniting behind everyone living with cancer in Oxford." - Ingersolltimes -

For more information go to Canadian Cancer Society.

Custom lapel pins can be a very good ally for any cause. They can be sold to raise money and since they're easy to wear everybody will be displaying them showing their support and spreading the word.
If you're planning to drive a fundraising campaign, you may want to consider lapel pins as part of your crusade.

For stock lapel pins, please visit our online store where we carry awareness pins in a variety of colors and you can have them delivery immediately.

And if you're looking for something more personalized we can also help in your project. With custom made pins you can choose your own unique design and a special message can be included.. Please visit Lapel Pins or call (888) 720-2115.

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 11:39:00 -0800 Ribbon Lapel Pins To Raise Awareness About Childhood Cancer http://siennapacific.posterous.com/ribbon-lapel-pins-to-raise-awareness-about-ch http://siennapacific.posterous.com/ribbon-lapel-pins-to-raise-awareness-about-ch

According to Childcan, a organization in the Southwestern Ontario area that helps children and their families cope with the diagnosis of cancer; 10,000 Canadian children are living with cancer today and about 1,500 are diagnosed each year.

Childhood cancer survivor Stephanie Simmons of London, Ont., has launched a national campaign to raise awareness of childhood cancer in Canada.

As part of the campaign, gold ribbon lapel pins and vehicle magnets are going to be sold and all the profits will be used on research with the ultimate goal of finding a cure for this mortal disease.

"What drives research and what drives ultimately finding a cure, it's awareness and, I hate to say it, money," he said.
"The more people know about these lesser known cancers, the better chance these kids have of having a fighting chance." - The Sun Times -

Anyone, who is affected by any form of cancer, comprehends the importance of raising awareness and funds to find a cure. Fundraising is comprised of a variation of components, such as an event, lapel pins and a contagious viral marketing campaign.  At the end, awareness ribbon pins are symbols, emblemizing donor's contribution to the critical cause: a final cure for cancer!

If you are part of a charity that you think could be helped by the addition of cancer awareness ribbon pins that are able to carry your message, please contact us today and learn more about our custom made lapel pins. Once you make the call we will help you to decide which option is right for you and your charity's message. Call us toll free (888) 720-2115.

Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:00:00 -0800 Oscars 2011 - Mark Ruffalo's Lapel Pin http://siennapacific.posterous.com/oscars-2011-mark-ruffalos-lapel-pin http://siennapacific.posterous.com/oscars-2011-mark-ruffalos-lapel-pin

"Making a statement via lapel pin is still very much in vogue.

Mark Ruffalo and a few others donned waterdrop-shaped blue lapel pins to represent efforts to fight for clean water in the face of modern-day energy extraction techniques, which can contaminate nearby water supplies. (The controversy over what's known as "fracking" for natural gas was the subject of the nommed feature docu "Gasland.")

Ruffalo recently co-founded Waterdefense.org with other activists, and said he was motivated "because I live smack dab in the middle of gasland in upstate New York." He found himself "mortified by the conditions people are living in with contaminated wells, and they can't drink water out of their faucets." " - Variety -

Custom pins are a fantastic way to spread the word and raise awareness. They can be personalized with any message that you would like and since they have a lot of exposure everybody will see your message or will know about your crusade.

Most likely, awareness ribbon pins are the most popular ones but actually any cause can be promoted through custom lapel pins.

We congratulate Mark Ruffalo's initiative. Besides his support to the cause, he demonstrated his commitment by wearing the pin in such important event as the Oscars.

Wed, 29 Dec 2010 13:58:00 -0800 January is Cervical Health Awareness Month - Teal Ribbon Pins To Support The Cause http://siennapacific.posterous.com/january-is-cervical-health-awareness-month-te http://siennapacific.posterous.com/january-is-cervical-health-awareness-month-te

January is Cervical Health Awareness Month. Let's support the cause to raise awareness and help in the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer and other forms of Gynecological diseases.

Awareness Ribbon Pins
and Silicone Awareness Bracelets are excellent ways to spread the word and support different causes. They can also help to raise funds. Instead of asking people for money, which intimidate many volunteers, lapel pins and wristbands can be sold and all the collected money will go to support the cause.

Check out this article that explains what awareness pins can do for a fundraising drive like breast cancer: Breast Cancer Pins.

Another advantage of using awareness products in your fundraising drive is that you can personalize your Lapel Pins or bracelets with a special message, a person's name or your company name if that is the case.

Teal Ribbons Pins are the symbol for the fight against Gynecological Cancers, like Ovarian Cancer and Uterine Cancer for example.

For more information about Cervical Cancer visit the National Cervical Cancer Coalition.

I would like to share this video that includes some important information about cervical cancer and presents our line of Teal Awareness Products as well. Check it out!

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 14:52:00 -0800 The Wings Society - Using Custom Lapel Pins To Recognize Donors http://siennapacific.posterous.com/the-wings-society-using-custom-lapel-pins-to http://siennapacific.posterous.com/the-wings-society-using-custom-lapel-pins-to

Women in Aviation International (WAI), is a nonprofit organization devoted to provide networking, education and scholarship opportunities for women who want to fulfill careers in the aviation and aerospace industries.

WAI just launched the program "The Wings Society" to recognize donors. A minimum cumulative $ 500 donation will enroll any person to this program.

"The Wings Society has six levels of participation with the lapel pin becoming more valuable with the cumulative amount of the donation. The levels start with a pearl lapel pin for $500 to $999 in donations and escalate through bronze, silver, gold, platinum and end with a diamond pin for cumulative donations in excess of $20,000." - General Aviation News -

A very important characteristic of this program is that donations are cumulative, so people don't have to make a big donation at once to be part of this, anyone can become a member after they reach the $500 threshold in whatever period of time.

We love WAI program! It will work very well motivating people to donate, they will look forward to get the initial pearl recognition pin and if they have the possibilities to contribute more, they will try to go for the next levels.

On the other hand, these custom made lapel pins are the perfect advertising tool for Women in Aviation International. Donors will feel proud to wear them and other people will see them and know about the program and its goals.

Finally, the idea to name the program "The Wings Society" is wonderful, it gives the program a sense of community or exclusive club that people will be enthusiastic to be part of.

So, if you have a fundraising effort going on, maybe you can get inspired by this idea and add some excitement to your campaign. You don't have to invest a lot of money in gold lapel pins if you don't want to, custom lapel pins offer several options and you can personalize them according to your preferences.

Good luck!

Wia

Mon, 01 Nov 2010 16:57:00 -0700 Fun Fundraising Ideas Using Lapel Pins - Part 1 http://siennapacific.posterous.com/fun-fundraising-ideas-using-lapel-pins-part-1 http://siennapacific.posterous.com/fun-fundraising-ideas-using-lapel-pins-part-1

Once again, lapel pins show to be an effective way to help raising money for any cause, they're inexpensive and people love to wear them to show their support or to make a statement.

Today, we saw an article online about a fundraising effort in St. Tammany Parish, LA.

The Sheriff's Office conducted an effort to fundraise for Breast Cancer research and food for a local food bank.

Furthermore, the Sheriff decided to make it fun, so their employees would be more motivated to participate. To learn what he did visit St. Tammany News.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and it may be a good opportunity to participate and get involved.

Even more, if you are part of a community or organization, you can be the "engine" for a fundraising effort and as St. Tammany Parish did, motivate your collages, partners or employees to donate as well.

Red ribbon pins and red silicone wristbands represent Diabetes Awareness. World Diabetes Day is November 14. Let’s make a difference!

Thu, 28 Oct 2010 11:22:00 -0700 Kansa City Chiefs - Using Lapel Pins to Fundraise for the Military http://siennapacific.posterous.com/kansa-city-chiefs-using-lapel-pins-to-fundrai http://siennapacific.posterous.com/kansa-city-chiefs-using-lapel-pins-to-fundrai

Veterans Day is around the corner and KC Chiefs, a professional football team based in Kansas City, just announced today that they will honor veterans and active members of the military with an in-stadium recognition this Sunday at the game vs. Buffalo. And this is only the beginning, they will lead events and activities until Veterans Day on November 11.

The Chiefs are joining the VFW Foundation (Veterans of Foreign Wars), on the Return the Favor campaign, an awareness and fundraising campaign to honor, celebrate and support active-duty and retired military and their families.

In order to fundraise for the cause, the Chiefs Team Store will be selling Return the Favor lapel pins until the end of November. Fans and people interested can donate also by text or visiting www.returnthefavor.org

For more information please visit KCChief

Once again, lapel pins are used to help a fundraising effort, for sure, donors have a better incentive to give when they receive a beautiful custom pin in exchange and besides that, they can proudly wear them and encourage other people to collaborate.

We applaud KC Chiefs initiative and hopefully they're setting an example for other sport teams or organizations to join the cause as well. Go Chiefs!
