Custom Lapel Pins Given to Members of Breast Cancer Support Group

Published on May 27, 2011 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , , .

Breast Friends is a breast cancer support group with a great design that brings attention, awareness, and support to the disease.  In addition to using the traditional pink breast cancer awareness ribbon, the organization decided to make the design unique so it would fit their personality and mission.

Breast Friends and Providence Hospital

Providence Hospital in Fairhope, Alabama hosts the member’s group.  That’s why its name is included on the lapel pin.  Using a standard oval design, the Breast Friends pin has silhouettes of two women holding the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon.  The support group’s name is at the top of the pin making it easily recognizable.

Unifying Group Members With Custom Lapel Pins

The custom lapel pins were created with the intention to be handed out to support group members as a way of unifying and thanking them for their participation.  Worn in a visible location, they draw attention to breast cancer support and research.  Anyone wanting to learn more about the group can look up the hospital to find out  how to join or donate to the cause.

Informing, Educating, Honoring, and Raising Funds with Lapel Pins

According to BreastCancer.org, “About 1 in 8 women in the United States (12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.”  There isn’t a better way to show support for these women than to wear custom awareness ribbon lapel pins.  These recognizable pink symbols inform, educate, honor, and raise funds.  Like Breast Friends, you can make your group or organization’s pins unique.  They can be any size, shape, style or color.  They can feature your name, message, and logo.  That’s what makes them so memorable.

Custom breast cancer awareness pins are a great way to promote your group’s activities.  Whether you are holding an educational workshop or a fundraiser to support research, one thing is certain.  You can achieve more with lapel pins.

Wisconsin Riders Get Custom Biker Lapel Pins to Support the Special Olympics

Published on April 14, 2011 in All About Pins and Custom Lapel Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , , .

Few people know that the first Special Olympics was held in Chicago in July of 1968. It was started by Eunice Kennedy Shriver in 1962 as a summer day camp for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. It is hard to tell by the current involvement of nearly 200 million people around the world that the event began with just a little more than 1,000 participants 43 years ago.

Riding to Show Their Support

The 2011 Special Olympics will be held in Athens, Greece starting June 25th, which has generated a great deal of anticipation for the organization’s countless supporters, especially Wisconsin Law Enforcement. Officers and members will be doing their part to support the Special Olympics by participating in a charity motorcycle ride for which All About Pins was commissioned to create the custom biker lapel pin.

The motorcycle pin adds even more excitement about the coming of the event. The bright red flames against the black background suggest that something big is about to happen. The contrasting rich blue text makes the name of the ride boldly visible and easy to read.

Add-ons Create Character and Depth

The dangler add-on announcing the event year and displaying at lit torch adds a touch of fun and a sense of freedom that both the ride and the Special Olympics will inspire within its participants. However, danglers are not the only add-on option we offer.  For added character and depth of design, our customers can choose from glitter and glow-in-the-dark enamels, gemstones, bobble heads, sliders, cut-out and even blinking lights. In addition to those little extras, we offer custom shape, like the lapel pin shown above, which helps make the pin even more unique.

The University of Florida and Shands Hospital Create Custom Awareness Ribbon Lapel Pins

Published on December 14, 2010 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , .

A partnership between two organizations doubles the success rate of an event.  For example, Shands Hospital, one of the Southeast’s premiere health systems partnered up with the University of Florida (UF) to demonstrate new medical procedures and to give insight as to how it trains new doctors and nurses.   The healthcare facility has over 11,000 employees and 2,000 volunteers in total.  Of the 49,000 students attending college in Gainesville, UF has over 6,000 members of its student body working at Shands or one of its sister facilities.

The two groups decided it would be in their best interest to order custom awareness ribbon lapel pins from All About Pins as a way of announcing their partnership and to gain interest and support from the community.  Our products are great for this reason because they can be worn in a visible location like a lanyard or lab coat and are small enough to carry to job fairs and conferences where they can be handed out as to attendees.

Delivering a Message For Your Cause

Awareness ribbon lapel pins are an effective way to get the message out about your cause.  They are visually attractive and can be created in a number of different styles.  For example, we sell cloisonné, soft enamel, die struck, photographic, and silk screened lapel pins on our website.  Each has its own distinct look and list of advantages.

Soft enamel and cloisonné tend to be our most popular sellers.  Custom lapel pins in all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles make great giveaway items for students, hospital staff, volunteers, and donors.  That is one of the reasons why the customer chose them over other types of promotional products.  Awareness ribbon lapel pins have the ability to educate, motivate, and reward individuals and groups of people.

Picture Perfect Pins to Announce a Partnership

In the case of Shands Hospital and the University of Florida, they opted for a photographic ribbon lapel pin because they wanted an exact replica of their artwork.  Offset printing offers our customers flexibility in design and style. Because photographic lapel pins incorporate the use of offset and laser printing techniques, the most detailed drop shadows, gradients, and text can be brought out with brilliant color and clarity. A clear epoxy coating finishes it off and keeps the ribbon pins from being scratched and damaged.

The gold plated, pastel colored lapel pins that we created for the customer have the words “UF & Shands” printed on them.  It doesn’t take much to see that the two groups have a relationship and commitment to one another.  Anyone familiar with the hospital or university knows that Shands HealthCare is affiliated with the University of Florida’s Health Science Center.

Show Your Patriotism by Ordering Custom Support Our Troops Lapel Pins

Published on May 10, 2010 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , .

Car magnets and decals urging people to “Support Our Troops” are commonplace in the United States.  Ranging in color and pattern, the declarations of patriotism make a bold statement.  Although smaller in size, custom lapel pins are portable and reach a wider audience.  All About Pins wants to help you pay tribute to the men and women fighting for the freedom of our country by creating custom designed lapel pins for your business or organization.

Support Our Troops lapel pins range in size, color, shape, and style.  Although awareness ribbons tend to be the norm, cloisonné, soft enamel, and diestruck pins make just as big of an impression on the public.  Featuring information that is unique to your products or services, the powerful promotional product can be used in conjunction with fundraisers, conferences or galas.

Patriotic pins are fitting at all times of the year not just the Fourth of July.  Politicians, athletes, teachers, parents, and celebrities show their support for the men and women stationed overseas by sporting a custom lapel pin on their jackets, shirts or bags.

Custom lapel pins help to create a sense of community by uniting people who are affiliated with a particular cause.  There are a number of ways that support our troops pins can be used.  Here are a few of the most common:

  • To provide physical and emotional support to individuals enlisted with the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps
  • To raise funds for injured troops or for families whose loved ones were killed in combat
  • To forge unity amongst communities, states, and nations
  • To urge lawmakers to include legislature that is beneficial to our service men and women

Custom Support Our Troops Lapel Pins draw attention to your business and service in more ways than one.  Call 1-866-604-9462 or email info@allaboutpins.com today.
