April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month

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 -

"Jobs" Lapel Pins To Remind Legislators To Create More Jobs

Legislators and lobbyists in Salem, Oregon are wearing "Jobs" pins as a reminder that they need to focus in jobs creation.

"JOBS" pins have flooded the Oregon Capitol in Salem. These little lapel pins, which simply say "JOBS," worn by legislators and lobbyists, progressives and conservatives alike, serve as a constant reminder that everyone wants this to be a jobs session and everyone wants their bills to be jobs bills. - StatesmanJournal.com -

Unemployment is still a big problem that needs to be solve. Due to the economic recession affecting the entire nation, many people have lost their jobs in the past three years and a lot of them are still waiting to find a new one.

This issue is for sure one of the biggest priorities for many states. We applaud Oregon initiative, it shows the community that their legislators are definitively aware of the situation and their commitment to try to solve it as soon as possible.

Custom lapel pins can be used to make a statement, to share a vision or to create awareness about an issue or situation that we believe is important. Lapel pins are highly visible and easy to wear for anyone. Moreover, their affordable prices make them a smart option that no one shouldn't overlook.

Lapel Pins in Action: Lilies for Lillie Campaign

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!

Canadian Cancer Society - Daffodil Lapel Pins To Raise Awareness

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.

Oscars 2011 - Mark Ruffalo's 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.
