Ribbon Lapel Pins began to take on new significance some 20 years ago, and have gradually become a cherished part of cause marketing and support both in the United States and worldwide.

First introduced at that year?s Tony Awards, the red lapel pins were so successful that other organizations soon adopted the ribbon-shaped lapel pins in other colors to promote awareness of other causes.
