month of sept is ovarian cancer awareness. i am going to have a teal ribbon made for my big oak tree.

Teal is a low-saturation color, a bluish-green to dark medium, similar to medium blue-green and dark cyan. It can be created by mixing green with blue into a white base, or deepened as needed with a little bit of black or gray color.

The official color for this cause is teal.

The group of women working with the cancer group put them there symbolizing the fight against ovarian cancer.

Driving through downtown today I notice blue/green ribbons tied to most of the trees along West Federal as well as by the statue at Federal and Market....

Anyone know the reason?
