What is today? Bandana Day is observed on the last Friday in October, falling on October 25 this year, to celebrate people suffering from cancer. Bandana Day is an awareness event celebrated to show support for people affected by cancer, especially children. The day encourages individuals to wear a bandana to raise funds and awareness for cancer organizations. • ---------- • Bandanas • https://amzn.to/3Ab0Wge • ---------- • Bandana Day originated in Australia in 1994, created by CanTeen, an organization dedicated to supporting young people aged 12–25 who are impacted by cancer, either as patients or as friends and family of those with the disease. The idea was to provide a simple, visible way for people to show their solidarity while raising funds for support programs and resources. • The bandana became the symbol for this day because it's commonly worn by cancer patients who lose their hair due to chemotherapy. Wearing a bandana on this day shows empathy, with each purchase or donation helping to fund counseling, peer support, and information services for youth affected by cancer. Over the years, Bandana Day has grown to be celebrated in schools, workplaces, and communities across Australia, with bandana sales and events raising millions for cancer support. • This initiative has inspired similar events worldwide, where bandanas are used to rally support for cancer charities and awareness campaigns. • ---------- • The bandana has a rich history that spans centuries and cultures. The word bandana is thought to have originated from the Hindi word bandhana, meaning to tie. Bandanas as we know them today—square pieces of fabric, often with colorful, patterned designs—were first made popular in South Asia and the Middle East, where they were worn to keep cool, protect the head from the sun, or serve as accessories. • In the 18th century, bandanas made their way to Europe and the Americas. They became fashionable in colonial America, where Martha Washington notably had bandanas printed with George Washington's image as a form of patriotic support during the Revolutionary War. Their use expanded further in the United States, where cowboys wore them as a versatile tool, using them to shield against dust, sun, and even to identify themselves by colors or patterns. In Latin America, bandanas (often called pañoletas or paliacates) were similarly used by vaqueros and farmers for practical and symbolic purposes. • During the 20th century, bandanas became symbols of social movements and cultural identity, as seen in the red bandanas worn by workers in the labor movements, the black bandanas in anarchist circles, or even the rainbow ones in LGBTQ+ pride events. Today, they serve as fashion accessories, functional wear, and symbols of unity and awareness in events like Bandana Day for cancer support, blending practical uses with deep cultural meanings. • __________ • Patreon: / whatistoday • __________ • SOCIAL MEDIA: • YouTube: / @whatistodayvideos • Facebook: / whatistodayvideos • Twitter: / whatistodayvid • TikTok: / whatistodayvideos • Pinterest: / whatistodayvideos • Instagram: / whatistodayvideos • ---------- • Please Support the Channel!!! • ---------- • #bandana #bandanas #bandanachallenge • ----------
