Why a Rubber Wristband? Part 1

It has been a while since I have reported on some of the most common uses for the rubber wristbands . Buzzle.com has noted a couple important and popular uses for the wristband and I thought I would share, today and tomorrow, what they are saying. First, wristbands can be used for charitable causes: “Rubber wristbands have served many purposes for years. These are also used as a form of identification for certain groups or as a charity fundraiser. Since rubber wristbands are very easy to manufacture, these are easy to make and sell and prove to be a great way to gather funds for any charitable organization.

Today, sporting a rubber wristband holds more reason than just a fashion statement. Rubber wristbands are a great way to show your support for any organization that needs help and assistance. Such wristbands are a subtle reminder to people about the various worthy causes one can help and support.

The most important and popular case is the famous ‘Livestrong’ rubber wristband. These were designed in 2004 in order to raise money for a cancer foundation. Cancer survivor Lance Armstrong designed these wristbands to create more awareness of this issue and as a way to raise funds for the foundation and the people with their family members who needed the help and support. This rubber wristband is also known by its trademark yellow color. There are also other organizations that have used it as a way to raise money for different worldwide issues that need to be tackled” (http://www.buzzle.com/articles/custom-rubber-wristbands-as-promotional-advertising-gift.html). With all of these charitable causes out there, I would be interested in knowing what some of the customized slogans are on these wristbands.
