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.

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!
