Hey everyone, awareness week is quickly approaching this year. Its October 19-25. Check out the awareness board for some awesome ideas to spread awareness and stop this preventable injury! Also please feel free to share your awesome ideas, we would all love to know how you spread awareness!!!

Thanks,
Amy Theis
Awareness committee chair

Everyone has been kind of quiet about Awareness Week (at least, as far as posting on the message boards). Does anyone have any plans???

I wil be wearing al my UBPN Gear al wek long. I put my silver ribbon pin on my LOBPI arm sleeve and that always gets questions.

Hugs all around,

Good idea.

Also, I just got some glitter hair spray for Emma for Halloween and I think I'll spray Emma's BPI arm with it during Awareness Week

Awareness Week begins one week from today!

Carolyn, what is UBPN Gear? I just found this site today, and wasn't even aware that there was an awareness week for OBPI. I would like to get more involved, but have no idea where to start. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thank you!

Katie,
Take a look on the Home Page http://ubpn.org/
when you scroll down, there is UBPN store, order form, on it it has pins and bracelets...
Many of us also own Camp Shirts from when we attended UBPN Camps (2005 Washington DC, 2007 Washington State). Next one is in 2010 place tba.
