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.
