Rubber Wrist Bands

Raise awareness and funds for your organisation.

Rubber wrist bands are also known by many other names to fundraisers: awareness bracelets, fundraising wrist bands, fundraising silicone bracelets to name just a few.



Whatever you call them the basic idea is the same. You sell thin silicone or rubber bracelets, usually in a particular colour and printed or embossed with your organisation's name, logo or motto.

By buying and wearing these fundraising rubber bracelets your supporters:

• Raise funds - The bands are not expensive but many people will contribute more than the minimum suggested donation.
• Raise awareness - Wearing the band builds awareness about the issue or cause.

The most famous example of the potential for fundraising wrist bands is Lance Armstrong. This six times Tour De France cycling champion, who fought back from cancer, is these days just as associated with his yellow LIVESTRONG wrist band campaign as he is for his sporting achievements.

But rubber wrist bands are not just for larger organisations. Minimum orders are low and production straight forward. This means there is potential to sell wristbands to promote anything from the local animal sanctuary, the school swimming pool or the local church or hospice.

Where to order fundraising rubber wrist bands

As with purchasing many wholesale fundraising products do check out the offerings of a number of different companies and compare quotes.

Something else you may like to consider is whether the bands are ethically produced. Ask questions and look for the SA800 standard to ensure that you are only supporting creditable suppliers.

Don't just sell your rubber wrist bands

Use them as an entry ticket to your school or village fete. Try selling them with a lucky number to win a prize. Offer a range of colours so people can, over time, collect the set. Call them VIP wrist bands and persuade local retailers and restaurants to offer a discount to anyone wearing one.

And for long term benefits have your website address included on the band.
