Red Ribbons Stimulate Fundraising for Diabetes Awareness

Nov. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- The Carlsbad based-corporation, Sienna Pacific unveils its impeccable, new red ribbon line of awareness pins in observation of November’s National Diabetes Awareness Month. At a time when many charities are enduring dwindling donations, president of Sienna Pacific, Dan Greenberg purports that awareness pins, red ribbons and other specialty insignia have become an integral component of fundraising for germane causes, such as diabetes.

In America, hundreds of chapters representing the American Association of Diabetes, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation will participate in November’s awareness campaign.

Data, provided by the American Association of Diabetes (ADA), indicates that 23.6 million adults and children are diabetics, suffering from Type II or I. A federal report forecasts that by the year 2050, one in three Americans could have diabetes.

Although famous celebrities Salma Hayek, Brett Michaels, Halle Berry, Larry King and Mary Tyler Moore are heightening diabetes awareness, red ribbons have been stimulating contributions for the last three years. “We’re seeing microcosms of foundations crop up, buying diabetes awareness red ribbon pins (http://www.siennapacific.com/redribbonpins) for a cross spectrum of fundraising objectives,” asserts Mr. Greenberg.

Associations, foundations and organizations commission Sienna Pacific to customize diabetes awareness red ribbons as in a diabetes wristband (http://www.siennapacific.com/reddiabeteswristband). Small groups and large groups are raising contributions for a cure for diabetes and awareness; order diabetes awareness red ribbons from Sienna Pacific in packages of 10, 25 or 100.

Chapters can have diabetes awareness red ribbons designed to distinguish one chapter from another. Whether it’s adding an organization’s acronym, special message, or other made to order characteristics, Sienna Pacific applies durable materials.

“We don’t have design requirements—just the organizations made to order requests,” contributes Rosana Levesque, creative director of Sienna Pacific.

Diabetes awareness is not the only awareness pin that Sienna Pacific produces. In August, Sienna Pacific released a new line of pink ribbons for Breast Cancer Awareness month (http://www.siennapacific.com/diabetesawarenessmonth) . Conversely, diabetes awareness pins are gaining popularity for walk-a-thons and other fundraising events. Either included with the gift bag, or presented as a welcome gift, foundations have learned how valuable these items are to edifying Americans and raising contributions for researching a cure.

Sienna Pacific garners a reputation for designing awareness pins to customer’s exacting specifications. “We understand the importance of diabetes awareness. And, with the debut of our new red ribbon line, we’re proud to play a role in promoting awareness and fundraising initiatives,” concludes Mr. Greenberg.
