Alternative Uses for Pink Ribbon Product

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Broward chapter.

Waste not, want not! Instead of throwing away the pink ribbons either after breast cancer awareness month or after an event, you can use the ribbon(s) for other uses as well as other uses for the breast cancer awareness month! Like so!

  • Luminaries as centerpieces.
  • Table cover as photo backdrop.
  • Parasols as hanging decorations.
  • Bracelets as napkin rings.
  • Bandanas as placemats.
  • Pins to seal programs/invitations.
  • Key chains as zipper pulls on backpacks/tote bags.
  • Streamers as walk/run finish line.
  • Hats filled with candy as centerpieces.
  • Balloons – add an inspirational message inside and let guests pop.
  • Pink flamingos as mile markers on walk/run.
  • Pink candles placed in shape of awareness ribbon.

This can be done!

I'm Miss. Congeniality of Broward College North Campus, Events Coordinator of the Psychology Club at Broward College North Campus, new president of Her Campus Broward, I work for Student Services at Broward College North Campus, and I just like to get involved in many great activities that benefit my personal growth.
Student at Broward College for the past five years, first enrolled on Davie's Central Campus learning Physical Therapy for two years than, transferring to Coconut Creeks North campus for the last three years, now majoring in Early Childhood / Developmental Education. Spent first year with Her campus Broward as Outreach Director, former president of self-entitled campus friendship club, Sammy's Buddy Brigade, member of the Campus Science Club, and a Broward County local student Ambassador with Best Buddies International. Winner of the Sammy's award for most charity work within the community, and now Vice President of Her Campus Broward. I hope to soon be working at Junior Achievement with the elementary and middle school children, in order to have a well rounded experience! The hope is to one day work with and teach children who have special needs such as myself! Biggest belief and philosophy of life is that, no matter what anyone says you can't accomplish in life, I am living proof that anything is possible! Having ADHD, high functioning Autism, and medical conditions such as Scoliosis, helps me to understand special needs children on a level that very few people can! It is this very knowledge that led me to choose Teaching as my chosen profession. Now at age 42, and more than 55% on the way to getting an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, I hope to become an Assistant Teacher within the next year or so. We hope that this true life story will inspire others to never give up either, no matter what anybody says, or tells you, that you can't do, the only one who can truly hold you back is "YOU".
