Wristbands

A few days ago I wrote about how I wear a yellow wristband for the "Lance Armstrong Foundation: LIVESTRONG" (Update: I found out that 77 cents of that $1.00 goes to the foundation).

Well, today I just ordered 10 "new" pink bracelets from the "Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation" (50-80% of the purchase goes to the foundation). These are all great because they cost $1/each.

--- "Sharing the Promise" Wristband ---

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was founded on a promise made between two sisters--Susan Goodman Komen and Nancy Goodman Brinker. Suzy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1978, a time when little was known about the disease and it was rarely discussed in public. Before she died at the age of 36, Suzy asked her sister to do everything possible to bring an end to breast cancer. Nancy kept her promise by establishing the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982 in Suzy's memory.

Show your support of our mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease-pass a pink wristband on to a friend or loved one and join in "Sharing the Promise"! The silicone wrist band fits up to a 7 1/2" wrist and are packaged 5 per pack ($5.00 for a package of 5 wristbands).

Due to the overwhelming response to this product all orders will ship the end of January.

Also, I was searching online this afternoon, as usual, and found this site that sells all sorts of wristbands. If you search towards the bottom you will find they even sell ones for the "Tsunami Relief" (50% of the sale goes to the tsunami relief efforts via Save The Children). But why is there such a high profit margin as well? Who knows.
