October brings about a number of changes in the country. Leaves start to turn and fall, temperatures get cooler, pumpkin-spiced everything hits the shelves everywhere, and our awareness involving breast cancer sharpens just a little bit more. Pink shows up everywhere: on clothes, shoes, in the media, on the NFL’s jerseys and football fields, across a number of platforms, and so on. Everyone will see or hear the rumblings of breast cancer awareness.
The month of October is officially Breast Cancer Awareness month and has become a global campaign over the years to raise awareness for the disease that affects so many women. Events such as 5K walks/runs, awareness high school and college games across the country, and charity events take place to spread the word about early detection, diagnosis, stages of the horrific disease, and survivorship. There are numerous organizations committed to fighting the disease and of course, one of the most popular ways to bring about awareness is with the help of awareness ribbons themselves.
GO PINK! - Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon Silver Rounds
Exclusive to SilverTowne and custom minted at our very own SilverTowne Mint in Winchester, Indiana, this one-ounce .999 fine silver bullion round is the perfect way to show your love and support to those who have been affected by breast cancer. The obverse features an enameled light pink awareness ribbon that has been painted by hand. The words “FAITH STRENGTH LOVE FIGHT COURAGE HOPE” are inscribed on the surface with the intent of providing the utmost of encouragement. The reverse depicts our standard non-dated back that leaves an area for engraving a special message. The weight (ONE OUNCE) and purity (.999 FINE SILVER) designations also surround the area.
The special breast cancer pink awareness ribbon silver medallion will arrive safely as it is secured in a protective plastic capsule inside of our SilverTowne gift box made with natural kraft paper from recycled materials. The medallion then will fit securely inside the dark grey foam insert that fits directly inside the box. Top off the gift box with an in-house designed fitted light pink ribbon outer sleeve. There are also a number of sleeve design options available to choose from.
