Rubber wrist bands are inexpensive fashion jewelry in the newest trend. But these bracelets are used with different purposes. Each colored wristband represents a particular disease or raising awareness about general public concern. This “raised awareness” of issues can lead to cure the disease and also for fundraising for those who need the help.

The first awareness wristband was created by the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which was founded in 1997 by world-renowned cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong. The intention of the Foundation is to help cancer survivors with life after a cancer diagnosis. The yellow Livestrong bracelet is sold by the Foundation to raise funds for its educational program, and to promote awareness of its causes generally.
