Question:
Orange is the new " GET IN THE LOOP " campaign to raise awarenss to lupus amoung the population. It just is the new campaign. But the ribbon represents the LFA, from what I understand. I wear both. I have had doctors ask what the LOOP was and they are simply taken back with it. NO one sees many around. I am glad I can explain what it is to them, cause that means IT GETS THEIR ATTENTION>…. janers
Response:
Part of the reason to moving to the loop, other than the new campaign, was the fact that a purple ribbon is used for Parkinsonism as well (or some such illness – sorry I may have the wrong one) so they wanted something that was obviously different from other awareness symbols. The orange may clash with your outfit, but it will definitely get attention. It’s small too – not obnoxiously loud just obvious. I love the butterfly pins but they are more "decorative" so people don’t necessarily see them as readily.

well, I know you can get them from my chapter but you’d have to send a check or credit card info by mail. Or, you could ask me to pick them up for you and I can send them to you via USPS. Probably easiest that way – and cheapest. I’ll double check but we typically have loops, purple ribbons and these wonderful butterfly pins… not sure if they are all available right now but will contact them and ask. I’d send you to our chapter URL but they’ve decided to revamp and have taken the entire thing down (grrrrrrr…. should at least keep the old stuff up there as it still applies with very minor exceptions).

Sigh. It seems _really_ stupid that the LFA site doesn’t have any of that stuff. I’ve found a couple chapters that offer everything, but they all seem to use evil PayPal.

What is the significance behind the Orange "O" and the Purple ribbon? I have long through lupus was represented by the Purple ribbon. Where does the Orange "O" come from? CP
Response:
Lupus awareness pins, the loop; can be purchased through www.lupusohio.org I don’t think you have to use pay pal, but if not then you have to send money first and wait and wait. That is how I got mine but used to order them from my own chapter, then they could not get any. I do have the purple LFA ribbon pin. Don’t ask me where I got it. Oh have an email of a fella from Cleveland that sends me stuff from their site. They have lots of thing too. I have stickers I put on all my outgoing mail. It has the toll free number of the Lupus foundation . call 1-800-558-0121 and ask them about pins and ribbons. See what they come up with. It is worth a shot. but sometimes the Ohio site is out of stock. Man must be alot of them out there LOL Just call the above number and ask them about the items. also Cleveland is www.lupuscleveland.org with phone number being 1-888-665-8787 Most chapters give you a loop if you are a new member. They usually cost around $4.00 so get your loop. I never leave home with out mine, and I got them for all my family too. even grand daughter who had to explain to a bunch of teachers as well as 4th graders, just what lupus is, and she does know. hope to find you well today. janers If this info does not help you, let me know. I have some ties to more information.

So those orange loop pins are bought through the LFA, yes? I just trawled through their site and found no mention of the pins. Does anyone know where I can buy a couple of the loop or the purple ribbon pins online that doesn’t require PayPal? — Lee M.Thompson-Herbert l…@retro.com KoX 1995, SP4 Head Muso, White Rats Morris Member, Knights of Xenu (1995).
