In 2004, when then-University of Alabama gymnastics coach Sarah Patterson was first inspired to dedicate an entire meet to breast cancer awareness, the ‘pink’ movement was just coming into its own. The pink ribbon first appeared in 1991, when the Susan G. Komen foundation adopted them. By the next year, the color and ribbon had become the official symbol of breast cancer awareness. In the ensuing decade, the color began to define the movement, taking over the month of October, dedicated to breast cancer awareness, but it hadn’t made the jump to sports.
