Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelet

October 31st, 2008

Ever since Lance Armstrong, the most prominent figure in cycling history so far, ever wore those yellow bracelets made of silicone, the fad of using jelly bracelets to promote and spread awareness has increased. Charities and organizations have long been aware that for an awareness program or campaign to work, one needs an icon popular and accessible enough to have their message sent accross successfully.

It is unfortunate though that not every Foundation has an athlete, showbiz personality or celebrity as popular and successful as Lance Armstrong. This is the reason why Organizations and charitable institutions utilizes novelty items to represent their cause.

Ribbons, shirts, caps, stickers and the like has always been used to promote and spread awareness of such noble causes. some of them have been successful while many have not. During the past few years, Lance Armstrong’s icon, had so much of an impact that many other institutions replicated that idea.

Today, a lot of foundations have been using Silicone Bracelets and each of these foundations have their own color or pattern.

One of the more active foundation is the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation that has been helping breast cancer victims for quite some time now.Their icon is actually their color which is pink.

A lot of items have been produced and introduced to the market with the same intention as to promote awareness regarding breast cancer. There have been car magnets, drinking bottles, shirts, caps, jewelry and many others, all colored pink so that you could identify its cause.

There have been Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelets produced in Silicone as well. What is so interesting with these SiliconeBracelet is that you could engrave your massage on the band. There are a few like the ones shown in this photograph that shows its concern for family members, friends and women in general who may have been victims ore are just simply vulnerable to the sickness. It’s cheap, simple, easy to wear but very effective. That’s what i like about Silicone Bracelets.

There are other variants and products as well that you could wear to express your participation with the cause. Some of them are more expensive than those of the Jelly Bracelets. But along with the expensive price is the promise that those items are sold to help fund research on breast cancer.

Whatever is more effective, whichever is more affordable, the most important thing is that these Silicone Bracelets and other novelty items are used for a higher purpose and are true to its cause.
