We have Awareness Matters t-shirts, apparel & gifts in red for blood cancer, lime green for lymphoma, orange for leukemia, violet for hodgkin's disease, lime green for non-hodgkin's lymphoma and burgundy for multiple myeloma.

Violet was chosen to be the color to represent Hodgkin's Lymphoma by the website CureHodgkin's and the Violet Ribbon Campaign in 2001. However, the color lime green also represents all lymphomas including both Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. There have been a few debates as to which color to wear to represent Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but the consensus is that both violet or lime green can represent Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It is a personal choice, although violet has become very popular with Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivors who prefer their own color be represented and to also respectfully honor the Violet Ribbon Campaign founded by the late Matthew Terry.
