awareness bands
Charity wrist loops
Awareness bands are colored silicone wristbands worn to show support for causes, charities, or social movements.
The yellow Livestrong bracelet popularized the form in 2004, spawning countless variations: pink for breast cancer, red for AIDS awareness, camouflage for military support.
They function as low-commitment activism and group identification: Everyone at the fundraiser wore awareness bands.
