Hiya, I live in the UK and have been searching online for somewhere to buy teal ribbons for OVCA. It is impossible, I don't think anyone knows about it over here and the only colour ribbon that is available is pink for breast cancer. So is there is web site in the US that I can visit?

Thanks Tina xxxx

    Some of the websites I've found
    http://www.ovariancancer.org/
    www.ovarian.org

    www.cafepress.com (search for ovarian cancer, if you search for teal, cervical cancer merchandise comes up too)

    www.zazzle.com (again search for ovarian cancer. I like the teal ribbon butterflies on zazzle) EDIT: They even have teal ribbon tennis shoes!

    www.amazon.com (search for teal ribbon) (the US site has a lot, I didn't see much on the UK site.)

    I hope these give you some options. I wasn't able to find plan old teal ribbons that you can pin on,but lots of merchandise with the teal ribbon! I just bought one of my best friends a t-shirt from cafe press: it's a penguin wearing a teal ribbon. (She loves penguins and she loves me!)

    Good luck!

    Thanks so much for going to the trouble to find these web sites. I'll give it a look tomorrow and let you know how I get on. I am doing "race for life" and wanted my ladies to proudly wear teal ribbons to promotr OVCA as BC - the pink ribbon has a much higher profile expecially during the the race for life in Nottingham where I live. Really dn't think many people are as aware of teal for OVCA as pink is for BC.

    Thanks

    There's a tshirt on zazzle
    There's a tshirt on zazzle that says " Women's cancer. It's not always pink." with a teal ribbon and it says under the ribbon "Reach out and Feel for Teal, Support Ovarian Cancer Awareness."

    Here are some other sites offering teal ribbons or pins in bulk

    Hi Tina,
    I live in Australia and had the same problem trying to buy OVCA items.
    I have bought some things (t-shirts, magnets and some jewellery) from the zazzle.com
    site and was very pleased with what I bought and they didnt take too long to deliver.

    Good luck and take care, love Carolyn xx

    Teal Ribbons
    Thanks Leesa I have just placed an order to www,.awarenessdepot for 20 teal pin badges for me and my ladies to wear when we do the Race for Life in July. I am so pleased to have found them as I don't think any one else here in the UK & also during the race will have one. Those web sites are so good - might treat myself to one of the lovely bracelets I saw.
