Favorite way of raising awareness?

I've been collecting the news for Karen, and I'm amazed at the different ways people raise awareness about this disease. A race card driver in Indiana is turning his car pink to raise awareness in honor of his aunt, a 31-year breast cancer survivor. Also in Indiana, a group of women plan to compete in boat races with a pink dragon boat. Actress Cynthia Nixon is becoming a spokeswoman for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization.
Whether you just talk to your friends and family, or make it on TV, everyone can help. What ways of raising awareness have worked for you -- or someone else you know of?
In an agency where everyone pretty much wears muted colors of green, blue, black or white, I can be found wearing my pink sweater over my uniform. On Casual Friday when everyone is allowed to wear jeans & sneakers I am easily pointed out by having the 1 pair of Pink Converse Chuck Taylors around. I use pink pens, pink folders, if it's pink you can be it came from me!
Thank you, Survivormom. What a great way to raise awareness, as well as wear some bright, pretty colors. The pink Chuck Taylors must be a sight.
