I got my pin at the Celiac Run/Walk held in Baltimore yesterday and it was $5.00. I'm not sure how much they are if you have to order over the phone.

I am having a very hard time getting ahold of anyone to find out info on these pins. I have left a couple messages at the phone number listed , and sent a couple of emails and haven't heard a thing back.

Sara- How did you get your pin??

If I hear anything I'll let you all know.

Hi- I'm fairly new to all of this as well. I found out that October is Celiac Awareness month and I was wondering if there was a ribbon associated with celiac disease. I know breast cancer is known for the pink ribbon etc... If anyone has any information about it I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
