charity wristband

Donation awareness accessory

A charity wristband is a simple rubber or silicone bracelet worn to show support for a cause and raise funds.

The yellow Livestrong bracelet popularized the trend in 2004, spawning countless imitators for cancer research, social movements, and awareness campaigns.

The bands are inexpensive to produce and sell, making them effective fundraising tools, though they've become so ubiquitous that wearing one signals little beyond vague goodwill.
