Where to find official pink "liveSTRONG" bracelets

Just to make one thing clear, there is no such thing as an official pink liveSTRONG bracelet.  The Lance Armstrong Foundation is only making them in yellow.

Now, that being said, there are plenty of knockoffs in multiple colors.  You can find them on eBay in a variety of colors, but no money is given to charity (as far as I've seen).

If you've read any of my earlier postings about the bracelet, you know I've been pushing the breast cancer foundations to start a pink bracelet.  Here are the one's that I've found through comments and emails from blog readers.  Thank you!

If you know of others, please click on comments below or send me an email and I'll put them up.

Hey,
I was wondering were can I get yellow livestrong bracelets for cancer?

Do you have any "pink" LIVESTRONG Armbands.

Angla,

Wearyellow.com or LAF.org is the official place.

Have you tried there?

Kate,

I don't sell these bracelets. Just trying to provide a forum and service to help.

Good luck,

Todd

A few days ago I looked on the web for the pink gel bracelets. I landed on a site that had the pink breast cancer as well as the others, red AIDS bracelet and the other types of cancer. They were very reasonable, nobody trying to rip you off. You could order in bulk, at 1.00 each if you ordered 12. They also would send a message for you if you were sending to someone in particular. Unfortunately I didn't save the site and now I can't find it. Any help out there. Thanks cindy

I live in Venezuela and I have seen people wearing this bracelets even without knowing hat they mean. So, are we doing this because of real charity, or just cause of fashion?? If we just want to do charity, maybe we can buy a health bonus (I dont know how do you say it there). The big deal is that we must know that if we are going to buy a bracelet make sue that it is original, and not wear them just because they are cool, or because we love the way they look in our wrists. Thanks to google that help me find this page, and thanks to Todd that helped me to express this. (I apologyse for my lousy English)

Cristina!

Thank you for reading and commenting on the blog! I don't understand the "health bonus" reference, so we must be losing something in the translation with your thoughts.

I appreciate you feedback and look forward to more of your comments and thoughts.

Have a great day.

Todd

i think it is a great idea

i love the idae of pink wristbands but i will not purchase them unless the money goes to charity and i will pay 5 pounds if the money is going to charity but not to fraud. please help me to find out whether im being ripped off or not thanx...perrin

Perrin,

I understand and its why I try to keep these types of post up and current so people know.

I personally spoke to the woman at PinkWings and bought $20 of bracelets from her.

Good luck and ask lots of questions!

Todd

I know this mite be taken the wrong way but surely if people are buying the legit bracelets "just for fashion" then let them .... their moneys still going to charity! So surely the more the merrier?!

I don't take it the wrong way at all! My only issue is when a company or individual will sell these types of bracelets "pretending" to help a charity.

Thanks for the comment Clare!

Todd

Hey i was just wondering if there was anywhere where you could order personalised bracelet/bands because our school is trying to raise some money for the Tsunami fund and we are trying to make one of our own?!?!?

There a number of company's out there that do this.

I've notice a few on the Google Ads. Do a Google search for customized silicone bracelets and I'm sure there will be plenty for you to choose from.

Good luck and let me know how your project goes!

Todd

the booster club at our school is trying to raise money and we thought of these braclets. i have loked and looked and can't find any that you can customize and you don't have to buy over 200 of if you could find a site that would sell them like that that would be great thanx. mel

mel,

I tried to email you back, but your email address failed.

Are you looking to purchase less than 200?

Please use your correct email if you want me to try and help.

Todd

mel,
you can buy tsunami bracelets, or customize your own at http://www.questat.com 100 bracelets is something like $30.

I am looking for the childhood cancer braclets and can't find them. My daughter is a childhood cancer survivor and wants to buy them and sell as a fundraiser for our local Relay for Life.

Does anyone know where I can find them?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello: I have been looking for the purple bracelets for Lupus, I believe they say "someone you know has Lupus" and so far I have only seen them on the Lupus.org web site and the minimun I can get is 25, I really don't need that many. Anyone seen them sold by smaller amounts?

there are also PINK bracelets on the breast cancer site. (thebreastcancersite.com) they have a lot of different kinds, some are sold out, others aren't. the money goes to a foundation.
