History of National Bandanna Day
The accurate history and origin of National Bandanna Day are unknown. It is considered to have originated from CanTeen, a welfare fundraising organization. The last Friday of every October marks this celebration day. The organization hosts a Bandanna Day every year. It is to raise awareness and support for young people living with cancer. Cancer treatment includes chemotherapy, known as chemo. The use of various anti-cancer drugs in cancer treatment with chemo results in severe side effects.
One of the most notable and widely known side effects is hair loss. Bandanas are used to cover the head. Anyone can wear bandanas to cover the bald head or sometimes for style. Wearing it on this Day shows an effective visual symbol and support for those chemo sufferers. The punks often wear it on the street and show they are strong, and they support each other. Bandanas represent the same attitude as the people living with cancer. It shows that they are strong and they support each other. They need not face cancer alone.
