AutumnOMA Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Ok...I need help. I'm confused. I have a cushing's ribbon lapel pin that is yellow and blue, (Yellow on the top and left, blue on the bottom and right) HOWEVER.....the Down Syndrome ribbon is almost IDENTICAL - (Blue on the top and left, yellow on the bottom right.... NOW.... if you go out into the world of awareness pins....there are places that recognize cushings with a light blue ribbon - probably because of the thyroid connection....BUT....no one seems to know the color of the cushing's ribbon, and it is SOOO confusing because it is so close to the Down Syndrome ribbon.... So....just to clarify.....what color is a CUSHING'S RIBBON??? Thanks! ~A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynneC Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Blue and yellow. We picked the colors from the original website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the most comprehensive list of ribbons/colors I have found. I did not see Cushing's. Edited January 12, 2006 by nycsmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Cushie ~MaryO~ Posted January 12, 2006 Chief Cushie Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 One of our early members, Janice, died on Tuesday 9/4/2001. She was the first person that I knew of on the message boards who had ever passed away and it was so sad. Janice's family wore Cushing's awareness ribbons at her funeral. They chose the blue and yellow colors of the website and message boards. Later on, when the first CUSH pins were designed, they were copied from Janice's Cushing's awareness ribbons but it was easier to get half one color and half the other instead of both colors on each side.

Over 2000 Posts radtravler Posted January 12, 2006 Over 2000 Posts Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Oh - when I saw your topic - I thought you were trying to describe a color for Cushings !! (lol) I was thinking about this and I think my Cushings in Gray - I don't really like gray - it depresses me - so that's my thought. I am however glad the Cush ribbons are blue and yellow - they are pretty, I think. Thanks though for giving this crazy Cushie a laugh !!

Doreen Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Do they all have those angle like creatures on them? I wouldn't like that.JMHO. Doreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~SuziQ~ Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 The pins we promote and sell to help support CUSH do not have angels on them. They are yellow and blue ribbon pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member of the 1000 Post Club ChatiCat Posted January 14, 2006 Member of the 1000 Post Club Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Autumn, I believe you purchased a ribbon pin from CUSH didn't you? Also, I wanted to add that the blue and yellow colors tend to vary on some of the items..... cups, pens, pins, tote bags, brochures, etc. However, it's all shades of blue and a shades of yellow.

jediknight36 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) I couldnt find the pins in the store. Is there an official registry for causes and their ribbons? Would be funny, if we had to change it, to make it purple and white! The collection jugs are the SYMBOL of cushing's! And the grey I think is just for brain surgery, right?

Chief Cushie ~MaryO~ Posted May 6, 2010 Chief Cushie Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 A great place to buy Cushing's Awareness ribbon pins is http://www.jfcainc.com/itemsanddonations.html John's mom, Donna Sellers, does a wonderful job working with kids with Cushing's and their families. Buying pins from her definitely goes to a good cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJ Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Mary, Thanks for the lapel pin link. I made an order. Is there any place on the boards where all the cushie products from various sources are listed? That would really be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJ Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Was looking for charms and found this http://store.goodybeads.com/store/products/Z002539.html. Maybe someone with a steady hand (mine tremors) could add "Cushing's" to the blue or "CS" to the yellow to distinguish it from Down's Syndrome. Just thinking at the keyboard. Would love to have a Cushing's ribbon charm for my Med alert bracelet, etc. Anybody got a steady hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieQ23 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I would like to find out where to get yellow and blue lapel pins, but don't see them with the t-shirts and other items for sale, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
