The design features a special 20th Anniversary red ribbon. This is the last and final year to purchase the pin - and show you honor and remember all that were lost on September 11, 2001. This annual fundraiser originally started in partnership with talk-radio show star Michael Smerconish from SiriusXM/CNN back in 2009. Since then, pin sales have generated over $500,000 for The Garden of Reflection, as well as other charities. The pin is now on sale on the Steven Singer website and it is available in the store.
