THE AWARENESS STORE



WELCOME TO OUR STORE!

Here you can find all the items that are on sale for this year's Annual International Brachial Plexus Injury Awareness Week.  Each item is fully described under its heading.

Help support the annual awareness effort.  Your purchase of awareness items directly benefits the UBPN's Awareness Program.

We have been trying to get our on-line store to you on time, however, we are working out some technical glitches.  <The math part is hard!>  But we have an easy way around it:

Below is the link to our printable order form.  The FASTEST way to get your Awareness order in, is to print the order form, fill it out and FAX it to UBPN at their toll free number (866) 877-7004.  Then you can go to www.paypal.com and you can set up an account for yourself there and enter your credit card number and make your payment to UBPN there.  For UBPN's account,  use their email address donation@ubpn.org.  The title of the payment would be "Awareness Store Purchase."

The "Silver Ribbon Campaign" originated as a grassroots effort of members of the Our-Kids Mailing List (www.our-kids.org) to increase "awareness and support of children with disabilities." The color silver was chosen for the ribbons "to represent the silver lining behind every cloud, and to show that our children are more than just their disabilities." With our own silver ribbon campaign, we also recognize the adults with brachial plexus injuries, by addressing their "kid at heart".

The Awareness Jewelry Ribbon Pin idea originated with one of the Awareness Committee members, Shannon Green.  She worked with a manufacturer to produce a very special jewelry pin that is made of die-struck pewter with nickel plating for a shiny 'silver' appearance. The pin is 1 1/8" in height and a small silver-like bell is attached.  

When people ask you about your pin, you will be able to give them a business card that will have information about brachial plexus injuries and our silver ribbon campaign printed on it.  Five business cards are included with each pin ordered and the ready-to-print file of the layout for this card is available in the Awareness Document Section.  

$5.00 per pin includes postage to the U.S.


 

JEWELRY RIBBONS PINS
INTERNATIONAL SALES

Knowing that our international community will want to purchase these ribbon pins, we have taken the regular $5 per pin price, deducted the postage that was built into the $5 price, and discounted each pin by an additional $1 to reduce the burden of currency exchange fees.

These discounted pins are sold in sets of 25 pins for $75 per set plus postage.  Two sets or 50 pins weighs one pound.  Please check with www.usps.com for actual postage rates to your country.  Insurance is provided on your package at no additional cost.  There are no returns for unsold pins.
