How to Buy Rubber Cancer Bracelets
Rubber cancer bracelets, also known as silicone bracelets, gel bracelets or charity bracelets, were originally developed by the Lance Armstrong Foundation in conjunction with Nike, as part of the "Wear Yellow Live Strong" program. After the success of the Livestrong bracelets, many charities, including cancer organizations worldwide, have created their own bracelets to raise money for each foundation. If you would like to start your own cancer organization, you can purchase personalized bracelets in bulk from retailers across the United States.

Make customized bracelets yourself with an online company. Decide what color you would like to make your bracelets and what you would like them to say. Each silicone bracelet company has different text limitations and letter sizes, so have several ideas ready in case your text will not fit on the bracelet.

Contact a silicone bracelet company. There are many silicone bracelet companies online (see Resources) where you can pay online and have the bracelets delivered in bulk to your work or home. These bracelets can then be sold separately to make money for your specific charity. You will need to pay using a credit card or debit card.

Tips & Warnings
Although Livestrong bracelets automatically go to charity after you purchase them, don't forget that you must actually donate the money to the charity of your choice if you purchase your own bracelets from a bulk retailer.
Keep silicone bracelets out of the reach of children under 3.
