As mentioned these silicon ribbons have a few different functions. The first is that they bring awareness to brain cancer. It can help foster dialogue between those unaware and those greatly affected by brain cancer. It then enables the wearer to educate people about brain cancer and what they can do to help fight the disease.

It lets them know that there are others out there fighting the same battle and working toward a cure. It is a visual statement that you understand and support them in their fight.
Fundraising
Brain Cancer ribbons are often used as a tool to raise sorely needed funds. The cost of producing them is usually pretty cheap and so the profits can go to local, national, or even international organizations that provide care, support, and facilities for those battling brain cancer and their families. In addition, these funds are also used to continue and sustain further research to find successful treatments and ultimately a cure for brain cancer.
Grey for Grey Matter
