Pink ribbon with colored ribbon

The pink ribbon is the symbol of the global breast cancer prevention campaign.

Christy Chung, Vivian Wu and Li Bingbing talked about pink ribbons in 2005. For the first time in history, the ribbon is regarded as a meaningful symbol, which is the yellow ribbon mentioned in the March of the American army. 19 17 George a Norton bought the copyright of this song for the first time. The name of this song is Yellow Ribbon Around Her Neck. From 65438 to 0940, many musicians tried to rewrite this song. 1970 released a yellow ribbon in the old oak tree in the early stage. In this song, the wife of Penney Laingen, a hostage trapped in Iran, is the first person to use the yellow ribbon as a meaningful symbol. She tied a yellow ribbon on the branch to express her longing for her husband's early return. Because of her loyalty, her friends and family followed suit. When all Americans see the message expressed by this ribbon, it becomes a medium to convey feelings. From 65438 to 0990, inspired by the fact that ribbons can be used as a medium to convey feelings and information, AIDS activists decided to start using ribbons as a symbol of their fight against HIV. They set the color of the ribbon as red to show their enthusiasm. At the Tony Awards ceremony, the famous movie star Jeremy Irons tied a red ribbon on her chest and fixed it permanently. After Tony's award ceremony, the ribbon successfully attracted everyone's attention and swept the United States. Time magazine even called Alexandra Penney, editor-in-chief of 1992 women's health magazine "Self", and began to edit the new issue of the annual National Campaign to Prevent and Treat Breast Cancer. Evelyn Lauder, vice president of Estee Lauder, was invited as the guest editor of the annual publication of National Campaign for Breast Cancer Prevention and Control 1992. Penny and Lauder put forward an idea together, that is, to recruit all the cosmetics giants and persuade them to send ribbons to every cosmetics store in new york, USA. Evelyn Lauder also promised that she would successfully spread the ribbon to all corners of the country. Charlotte Hayley, a patient who has struggled with breast cancer for many years, made a pink ribbon. On the attached card, she wrote, "The annual budget of the American National Cancer Society is $654.38+08 billion, and 5% is used for cancer prevention and treatment. Let's wear this silk ribbon to wake up our legislators. Her news spread very quickly and soon caught the attention of Penny and Evelyn Lauder. They offered to work with Haley to expand her ideas. But Haley rejected their proposal, thinking it was too commercial.

After discussing cooperation opportunities with Lauder, Hayley and her lawyer proposed a new ribbon color. The new color is pink. Pink ribbon has become a global symbol of breast cancer prevention and treatment.

English: Pink Ribbon International Breast Cancer Prevention Month is an annual international health campaign. This activity is held regularly by major breast cancer charities every year 10, aiming at raising public awareness of breast cancer and raising funds for research on the cause, prevention and treatment of the disease. The activity also provides information and help for breast cancer patients. AstraZeneca, a company that produces breast cancer drugs Arimidex and tamoxifen, established the International Breast Cancer Prevention Month on 1985. From the very beginning, International Breast Cancer Prevention Month aims to publicize that mammography is the most effective weapon to prevent and treat breast cancer.

The number of group companies investing in breast cancer prevention and treatment is also increasing year by year. In 2007, the campaign was supported by companies including Estee Lauder, Avon and Susan G. Coleman. National breast cancer cure competition

stamp

The first breast cancer stamp was issued in the United States on 1996. Due to poor sales, Ethel Kessler was asked to redesign a new set of stamps on the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Kessler immediately invited the illustrator Whitney Sherman to design pictures of stamps. Sherman later decided to use Diana, the Roman goddess who protected women and the goddess of hunting, as the pattern of the picture. In the stamp, Diana holds an arrow barrel, which symbolizes that she protects women from foreign harm. Diana's arm posture is the same as that of breast cancer patients undergoing mammography and breast self-examination.

On July 29th, 1998, the first lady of the United States, Hillary Clinton, and the Postmaster General, William Henderson, announced that they would start issuing stamps on the theme of breast cancer prevention and treatment. This set of stamps sells for 45 cents. Seventy percent of the funds raised will be donated to the National Cancer Research Association (NCI), and the remaining thirty percent will be donated to the breast cancer research project. In May 2006, more than 35.2 million dollars were donated to the National Cancer Research Association of the United States, and breast cancer research institutions also raised more than 15, 10 million dollars.

The idea of issuing stamps with the theme of prevention and treatment of breast cancer was originally put forward by Ernie Dai Bo, MD, an expert in breast surgery. Dr. Bokai is a surgeon who specializes in mastectomy and mastectomy. He used his own money and time to lobby the US Congress to issue breast cancer prevention stamps. Later, he founded a non-profit organization, Cure Breast Cancer Company, to raise funds to increase public understanding of the causes and treatment of breast cancer.

US Senator Diana Feinstein, who actively supports the issue of stamps with the theme of breast cancer prevention and treatment, said that the Senate's re-authorization of stamps "has brought encouraging news to people who are fighting breast cancer".

In Canada, the Royal Mint issued a set of silver commemorative coins to prevent and treat breast cancer. In 2006, a total of 15000 commemorative coins were produced. One side of the commemorative coin is printed with the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the other side is inlaid with the symbol of pink ribbon.

In addition, in 2006, 30 million coins with pink ribbon patterns were issued in the field of common currency circulation. These coins were designed by Cosme Saffioti, an engraving expert at the Mint. Historically, this is the second time that colored coins have been used in the field of common currency circulation. Samantha King, associate professor of human behavior and health research at Queen's University of Pink Ribbon Company, described how breast cancer changed from a serious disease and personal tragedy to a marketing plan and market-oriented industry of the group company in her new book Pink Ribbon Group: Breast Cancer and Charity Politics in 2006. Jenkins wrote: Under the unprecedented domination of career-related marketing, when large commercial organizations oppose some public health measures (such as stricter environmental control policies) and conduct uninspired research on how and why 65,438+0 women out of every 65,438+00 are affected by breast cancer, they have loaded powerful promotion machines into the promotion of breast cancer prevention and treatment.

Jenkins questioned the legality of private fund-raising to prevent its widespread spread among American women, and overemphasized X-ray mammography during the National Breast Cancer Prevention Month, but neglected the basic research on the causes of breast cancer.

She also questioned the importance attached by the group company to breast cancer, claiming that breast cancer, like heart disease, will kill one in ten women. She pointed out that compared with breast cancer, more women died of skin cancer and lung cancer, but it did not get equal attention from companies, groups or consumers.

The San Francisco-based Breast Cancer Action Group has changed the name of its annual breast cancer campaign theme. The new name was changed to "Breast Cancer Industry Month" to emphasize the cost of treating breast cancer. They really need to think about it before it turns pink. Sports encourage people to do things other than shopping. After explaining to the public that most of the pink campaign sponsors are industrial pollution giants, or that in the name of breast cancer prevention and treatment, more money is actually spent on marketing and advertising than on donations for breast cancer treatment and research, the Breast Cancer Action Organization appeals to consumers to reflect more on the following issues:

How much money has been spent on the marketing investment of products, and what have those companies done to ensure that their products will not promote the widespread prevalence of breast cancer among women?

The organization severely criticized major cosmetics companies, such as Avon, Revlon and Estee Lauder, which claimed to protect women's health while using preservatives and phthalates and other chemicals that promote cancer. Pink ribbons are also used to bind a stack of documents and documents sent to British defense lawyers with letters.
