Support
Creating custom breast cancer wristbands can help unite friends and family together as they look for ways to provide support to their newly diagnosed loved ones.
As Kathleen found, a simple wearable reminder can help you keep loved ones in your heart, mind, and prayers while they're fighting.
When my best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, I wanted a way to show that all of her family and friends cared for her. I ordered the reminderband with just her name on it and gave them to her to distribute to everyone who asked if there was something they could do. She hands them the band and says 'yes—whenever you see this band on your wrist just say a little prayer for me'. They are a huge hit.

Providing additional support to a cancer warrior’s circle can help strengthen them throughout the difficult times ahead.
Add a personalized hashtag to your customizable bracelets to show your support or a comforting phrase to help build a mantra of strength and courage.
Many customers choose a hashtag with their last name in it for their breast cancer bracelets, such as #SmithStrong. These custom rubber bracelets are often given to the group of individuals supporting the patient’s journey.
All the color choices and design options may seem overwhelming at first, so check out our wristband color meanings page for a few ideas to help you get started.
