Are you advocating a very worthy cause, indeed a very noble humanitarian and philanthropic cause that you know people would support and help? And do you require quite a few thousand dollars immediately to raise funds for that noble cause?
Have all those traditional methods failed to bring in the desired amount of money? Have you exhausted all those other options such as garage sales, cookie sales, bake sales and car washes and everything else that could possibly fill up the donation boxes?
And no, you still haven’t succeeded. Do you know why? People are damn tired of seeing the same old thing again and again. Where’s the novelty in the same old routine? Why should they pull out money from their pockets for that same old boring stuff especially in these tough economic times?
Come on, get a reality check. You need unique ideas to raise money for your cause or event, you have to surprise people, shock them, push them to grab their eyeballs and make them aware.
And the best way to arrest people’s attention and focus that attention on your cause is by using silicone bracelets for fundraising. This is the oven hot fresh idea you had been searching for to raise funds for your event.
Cute and colorful silicone rubber bracelets are the way to go if you want people to send donations for supporting your local church group or to sponsor any orphaned child’s education and other expenses or to support a needy individual’s cancer treatment.
Just as every unique business strategy stirs people out of their stupor, similarly a unique fundraising idea like selling silicone rubber bracelets will also force people to sit up, take notice and help.
And the good thing about using silicone bracelets for fundraising is that they are good looking, available in a multitude of colors and rainbow hues, in a variety of patterns, styles and designs and the best part is that rubber silicone bracelets make your hands look very pretty.

Do you remember those old days when you used to visit trade fairs and wrote down your name, address, contact details etc at a small booth in order to obtain a free gift mug or pen set with the name of the company embossed on the gift? These were all regarded as corporate gifts given out free of cost so that it would publicize the company, and create general awareness about that company among the public.
A pen set or mugs as corporate items are pretty costly giveaways costing around $2 to $3 per mug. It is, needless to say, a very expensive way of promoting and publicizing your company or organization or cause that you are supporting.
I am sure you would welcome a more cost effective giveaway item that wouldn’t burn big holes in your pocket. Welcome to the world of custom silicone bracelets or customized silicone rubber bracelets and wristbands.
The custom silicone bracelets became big things around 2 to 3 years back, but they are still highly in demand.

These custom silicone bracelets are made of high quality silicone rubber that lends itself to customization and you can choose any shape or color or pattern or design of your choice. Custom silicone bracelets are available in a multitude of colors, in swirling patterns or shaded patterns or in stripes or where 2 or 4 colors are blended together.
You can choose to emboss your company or organization logo or your cause slogan on the custom silicone bracelets which will spread the message of your cause to the world or publicize your event or your company. You can even inscribe messages on the custom silicone bracelets and decide on a font of your choice.
And compared to mugs which are brought out in the kitchen only during breakfast or teatime and are seen only by your family members, custom silicone bracelets enjoy a lot more visibility. People love wearing custom silicone bracelets because they are cool fashion accessories as well and they do their bit for society and contribute to social welfare by purchasing these custom silicone bracelets which are cheap as well.

But of course, nowadays it is the adults who are wearing them to espouse one charity cause or another and every day you will find at least a dozen celebrities wearing some kind of Awareness bracelets or other in support of the non profit organization or charity organization with which they are attached or which they own. Of course these people are not really making a fashion statement; rather they are keener on spreading awareness about the social cause they are supporting.
When you wear the Awareness bracelets, you are seen as a socially responsible citizen and these charitable trusts mint millions by selling these Awareness bracelets. The fund that is raised through the sale of Awareness bracelets globally is used to support the cause of that non profit organization.
The money is used to help patients of various kinds of diseases, to offer rehabilitation to people who have been outcast from mainstream society or to fund the education and growing up of orphans or whatever it is that they are supporting.
Sometimes these Awareness bracelets are worn to create consciousness about environmental damage and pollution or to create awareness about the destruction that wars cause to life and property or to raise funds to rehabilitate victims of natural catastrophe like earthquakes or tsunamis or floods or famines or landslides or volcanoes or about global catastrophes like global warming. That is why people treat Awareness bracelets with respect.

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.

Other labels being used are; awareness bracelet or jelly bracelet. And other names stem from their use such as; cancer bracelets, event bracelets, “support our troops” bracelets, etc.

Text is not the only thing people have printed or debossed on the bracelets. Many have opted to have symbols or logos included on the rubber band bracelet. Including a logo is an excellent way of marketing a product or brand. Some companies have pass out the bracelets and encourage people to wear them and display them freely. This type of use can be an inexpensive promotional tool for just about any company or organization.
Many fundraisers and charities will sell the bracelets to raise money. At the same time having people wear them around town creates visibility and awareness for any cause, idea, or brand being promoted. The cost of the rubber bracelet is low, and the larger quantity purchased, the lower the cost will be for each one. The cost can go down well below a dollar a bracelet allowing plenty of head room for profit that can benefit any fundraiser.

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.
