Awareness Ribbon Colors and Their Meanings

The most complete list of awareness ribbons, cancer ribbons, and all awareness ribbon colors. The meaning of the Awareness Ribbons are based on their color or color combination. Many illnesses and causes use the awareness ribbon as their symbols of support or awareness, so there is often more than one cause for each color ribbon. Also, several causes may use an alternate color of ribbon, so the cause may appear in multiple listings.
