Tie a pink ribbon

Yesterday I showed you breast cancer awareness in the storefront. Today, I promised to show you the city's efforts at promoting awareness.

But then I got to thinking—I really don't know who is responsible for these pink ribbons that line a couple of blocks of downtown Downey Avenue. My usual source of information—Google—turned up nothing.

And I don't know if these ribbons with their cards are honoring breast cancer survivors or breast cancer victims.

Either way, the ribbons do promote awareness, and remind us to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.
