A rubber bracelet may be worn for several reasons. Rubber wristbands are often worn to show support for a cause, as a fashion piece, or for both. Rubber bracelets come in all different colors and varieties. Typically the color of the bracelet signifies the cause. For example a pink rubber band bracelet is worn to create awareness about breast cancer, ways to prevent and detect it, and the ways to help support research. The rubber band bracelet became popularized as an awareness bracelet through a cancer awareness campaign. Cancer survivor Lance Armstrong wore and promoted the yellow “Live Strong” bracelet. The sales from that bracelet went to cancer research.
Rubber band bracelets can now be custom made for any cause or group. This trend to make whole sale rubber bracelets was introduced so that any group or organization could make custom silicone bracelets for awareness, support, fashion, and fundraising. The colored bracelets can also be manufactured as fan gear for a favorite sports team. Any local little league team can purchase wholesale silicone bracelets to sell as a fundraiser to gain funds for the team.
