Oral Cancer

Question: What color ribbon do they use for oral cancer? I need the awareness ribbon for oral cancer. Can someone tell me what color it is, or include a picture if you can. I just found out my dad has oral cancer :(

Answer: I am so sorry to hear about your fathers diagnoses. I hope he can recover. And I am so glad to hear you are trying to raise awareness!! I wish you and your father nothing but the best! I couldn't find anything on ribbons, they my not make a certain one for that type of cancer yet....I did find that they have oral cancer pins and bracelet's. http://www.spohnc.org/order/order.htm#Pins Here is another pin site that you can actually have them personalize it, maybe with your fathers name? http://www.personalizedcause.com/shop/collections/personalized/detail/p_redwhite.html
