Charity wristbands have become hugely popular over the last
year. Countless charitable organizations representing everything
from breast cancer awareness, to the Red Cross, to patriotic and
religious groups, to the Lance Armstrong Foundation sell
uniquely colored wristbands to raise money and awareness. The
charity wristband phenomenon is not just happening in the United
States, either. People as far away as Europe and even Australia
are becoming entranced by this popular trend.
Charity wristbands offer people the option of helping out causes
they believe in. People who may not have much money to give away
to charity can buy a wristband for a very reasonable price and
know that they are doing their part to help. Most charity
wristbands sell for under five dollars, with some going for as
little as one dollar. The wristbands are sold for so little
because they are usually made of inexpensive silicone or rubber.
Many manufacturers offer discounts for organizations that buy
large numbers of wristbands.
Charity wristbands can come in nearly any color and can have any
type of slogan or name embossed on them. Certain colors are
known to represent particular charities or causes. One of the
most popular is the yellow wristband that is sold by the Lance
Armstrong Foundation. People around the world recognize that
people wearing these bands donated money to help people living
with cancer. Pink charity wristbands signify breast cancer
awareness. People who buy these wristbands help support breast
cancer research and treatment. After the catastrophic tsunami,
the Red Cross began selling red wristbands to help fund the
rescue and recovery efforts in the area.
Charity wristbands are popular worldwide. They are trendy
fashion accessories as well as fundraising tools. When the first
quantity of yellow wristbands sold out in Australia, people
bought the bands off of eBay at huge markups.
