Oh no, these silicone rubber bracelets aren’t necessarily what you think them to be. Most people look at these silicone rubber bracelets as just another silly fashion accessory that makes the women and girls go crazy. But in reality, these humble and often derided bracelets have succeeded in transgressing the boundaries of the fashion and style world and have managed to enter the hallowed precincts of a socially responsible “spread awareness” zone.
Yes, I am talking about the Cancer awareness bracelets. You must have heard of them or at least seen the yellow Lance Armstrong Foundation Cancer awareness bracelets? This particular Lance Armstrong Foundation supports the victims of cancer, spreads social awareness about cancer, supports cancer patients and they came up with this fabulous idea of selling yellow wristbands or Cancer awareness bracelets to raise funds for supporting the cause of their charity.
You won’t believe it but millions of people across the world have purchased and now proudly sport the famous yellow Cancer awareness bracelets. Naturally, as you can understand, millions of dollars have been raised through selling these Cancer awareness bracelets and the latter are well recognized wherever you might go. These Cancer awareness bracelets have made people stand up for the cause of cancer and made them fight this life threatening disease.
You will find many celebrities sporting Cancer awareness bracelets and they are all associated with various cancer fighting NGOs or social organizations or charity groups.
There are also breast Cancer awareness bracelets, cervical Cancer awareness bracelets, ovarian Cancer awareness bracelets as well as other kinds of Cancer awareness bracelets and the color of choice is a pretty pink. Pink is a healing, comforting and soothing color and it is also regarded as a girlie color. And this pink ribbon owes its origin to a 68 year old woman named Charlotte Haley who used to make and distribute peach ribbons.
Along with these ribbons she sent out handmade cards with the message – “the National Cancer Institute has sanctioned $1.8 billion as its annual budget for fighting cancer, but only 5% of that money is being utilized for the prevention of cancer. Please help us wake up America and its legislators by sporting this ribbon”. This lady, Haley had a grandmother, a sister and her own daughter who suffered from breast cancer.
This is the story behind the invention of the pink ribbon symbol. She had refused Self magazine’s request to use the peach cancer ribbon on grounds that it was too commercial and the magazine came up with the idea of a pink ribbon. This is how the pink ribbon was born. In fact Cancer awareness bracelets are extremely ubiquitous nowadays.

Over two million women in the US have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. It is estimate that over 40,000 people will die from breast cancer this year. Women have a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer, a frequency factor that has nearly doubled since the 1960’s. Breast cancer is the 7th among the leading causes of death among women in the United States.
The above facts are not pleasant to learn about and may even frighten many women, but becoming aware of the realities and risk that is around us can motivate us to do something about it.
Funding for breast cancer research is always in need. Keeping society conscious and aware of the constant need to support cancer research can help people to open up their wallets and give their financial support. One way activist have kept the cause alive is by getting others to wear pink rubber bracelets to remind people of this deadly disease.
These pink breast cancer bracelets are widely used as a means to promote support for breast cancer charities and to encourage contributions to cancer research. Many organizations sell or pass out these bracelets so everyone can see a reminder of this ongoing health issue.
The pink bracelets will have phrases such as; “Faith, Hope, Courage and Strength”, “Strive for a Cure”, or “Breast Cancer – Find a Cure”. Many bracelets simply have the ribbon symbol which many already understand to represent the breast cancer cause. Even just the color pink seems now have the same representational power as the symbol or phrases mentioned. They are all powerful symbols that continue to remind us of the thousands of women that are suffering.
Many organizations will have the breast cancer bracelets made with their preferred phrase and either give them away or sell them. As mentioned earlier, getting thousands of people to wear the cancer awareness bracelets gets the message out to the public. The wearing of the bracelets allows continued visibility and reminds everyone to give their support to the cause.
What is important to understand is these bracelets do not cost very much money to be made. The colored rubber bracelets are made out of durable silicone in various sizes and can include just about any text, symbol or phrase. Additionally, if enough are purchased in bulk, the cost per bracelet drops well below a dollar for each bracelet.
The inexpensive cost of the silicone rubber bracelets allows organizations and charities plenty of room for profit, making them an excellent choice to raise money and promote awareness.
Wear your breast cancer bracelets!

Many people suffer from diseases and cancers that currently do not have a cure. Many of us are unaware of the difficult circumstances these people must suffer everyday of their lives. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough funding donated to research programs to maintain the level of scientific study that needs to go into finding cures for these diseases. It is necessary to keep the public and the politicians aware of how strapped for cash these research projects are these days.
Cancer research projects need the help of the public to keep theses causes central in people’s minds especially the governments that tend to give funding to the noisiest special interest groups. Additionally, if we don’t have someone close to us that is affected by one of these dreadful diseases, it is easy to forget how others may be suffering. If we don’t have a personal connection to a disease we can continue on with our lives without giving it another thought, sad but true.
Fortunately, there are organizations that try to maintain public awareness of the needs of cancer research projects. These organizations use many different methods to get the word out to the public and government officials. A few which you may be aware are television commercials, print ads, celebrity endorsements, public rallies, and fundraising campaigns and events.
One popular method used is cancer awareness bracelets. The bracelets are used as reminders of the need to support funding and research for various research projects. They also act as a reminder for people to donate some of their time and money to the cause.
Cancer awareness bracelets come in many colors and support various cancer treatments and research. I’m sure you can recall seeing someone wearing those pink rubber breast cancer bracelets. The breast cancer awareness bracelets were made of silicone rubber and had “Hope Faith Love” printed or embossed on the bracelet.
Another well known use of the cancer awareness bracelet was the yellow “Live Strong” bracelet popularized by Lance Armstrong. In fact, he is considered the originator of the silicone rubber awareness bracelets trend.
The cancer awareness bracelets not only keep awareness alive but are also used to raise money to support the cause. The silicone rubber bracelets are inexpensive to manufacture and give cancer organizations a reasonable profit margin to make money off of each bracelet they sell.
Whether your organization sells the bracelets or gives them away, more people could be wearing them and keeping their thoughts, hopes, prayers, and support alive for those that truly need it.
