According to the Alzheimer’s Association, “Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases.” Alzheimer’s commonly affects men and women aged 65 and older. However, Alzheimer’s is not an old age disease. Up to 5 percent of people with the disease have early-onset Alzheimer’s. It often appears when someone is in their 40s or 50s.
November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month and activities throughout the nation will be taking place. There’s no better way to educate those around you about the disease than with custom awareness ribbon lapel pins. These small, versatile tools can be used in a number of different ways to inform the public about Alzheimer’s disease.
At health fairs and other types of special events throughout the month, lapel pins can be handed out to the community as a way of raising awareness, soliciting donations, and rewarding donors as well as volunteers for their efforts and contributions. These small tokens of appreciation serve as a reminder of Alzheimer’s disease and the effect it has on individuals, families, and the community.
Awareness ribbon lapel pins can take on any size, shape or color that you desire. They can be the focus of the pin or they can be incorporated into the artwork with a logo or photograph. Awareness pins can reflect whatever a person’s vision is for their organization or non-profit. They can convey a message rather loudly despite being so small in size.
Make sure to be ready for National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month by having custom lapel pins on hand during the month of November. You can use them for a number of different activities and even sell them to raise funds for different programs that you sponsor throughout the year. Well worth the money you put into them, awareness ribbon lapel pins have the ability to change lives.
