awareness bracelets

Charity wrist bands

Awareness bracelets are wristbands worn to show support for a cause or solidarity with those affected by a disease, social issue, or movement.

Different colors signal different causes—pink for breast cancer, yellow for military support, rainbow for LGBTQ pride.

The trend exploded after Lance Armstrong's yellow Livestrong bands in 2004.

She wore a teal awareness bracelet for ovarian cancer.
