Initially used for spreading awareness about cancer, custom rubber bracelets are now the darling of every non-profit organization both for awareness generation and as a great fundraising tool. The Red Cross has its own red custom rubber bracelets for supporting Tsunami victims, while the relatives of American servicemen wear green custom rubber bracelets bearing the message Support our troops. Besides, each cancer charity has its own custom color bracelets!
Custom rubber bracelets also serve as a fashion statement. Thats one of the main reasons for their popularity. Ace cyclist Lance Armstrong had returned to win the Tour de France title for a record seventh time after his successful fight with cancer wearing one of these rubber bracelets. Since Lance Armstrong cycled to victory wearing his famous yellow LiveStrong rubber band, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has sold 52 million rubber bracelets and contributed millions to cancer research. Snapping at the heels of the LiveStrong cancer rubber bracelets in popularity, we have the pink breast cancer awareness bracelets.
There are rubber bracelets worn by Hurricane Katrina rescue workers and custom rubber bracelets...
