Remember the "LiveStrong" bracelets that cyclist Lance Armstrong sported to help raise money for cancer research? Well the world is now full of a rainbow of colored bracelets that help "promote the cause". They are a large part of the marketing group for charitable operations. They are cheap to produce and cheap to sell. A large part of the selling price goes directly to the cause they are trying to help.
The largest charitable organization that uses the colored jelly bracelets is the American Cancer Society. They have at least six colored bracelets that apply to the different forms of cancer.
Jelly bracelets come in purple (Relay for Life), dark blue (colon cancer awareness), pink (breast cancer research), white (cancer survivors), orange (anti-tobacco), and lime green (promoting the early detection of cancer in the Latin community).
The Relay for Life jelly bracelets have a particularly strong attraction for me. I have many friends who have been diagnosed with cancer and the $1 contributed to help with cancer research is invaluable. I believe it is a very small way I can show my support for them and the millions of others who have been diagnosed with this dreadful disease.
At least part of the appeal is affordability. Relay for Life jelly bracelets are sold for $1 apiece nationwide. This purple band is easily replaceable, waterproof and flexible. If you ever lose your bracelet, you can easily replace it for $1 going to a very good cause.
Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society's signature activity. Every year, many people participate in the overnight event. Whether you walk, volunteer, or donate, this is an opportunity to tell others about your experiences with the event. You can rest assured that the majority of people there will be wearing the purple bracelet.
This activity helps promote cancer survivorship.
Let's remember that it takes everyone to pitch in and help wipe out cancer. Even the smallest support, wearing the purple Relay for Life jelly bracelets, making a significant monetary contribution to the American Cancer Society, or just going out and supporting the walkers for Relay for Life are ways to help fight this disease of cancer.
