Freedombands, Inc. Introduces Freedom Bands Wristbands
Proceeds from wristband sales to help U.S. troops and their families
OREM, Utah – November 8, 2004 – Freedombands, Inc. today announced the availability of its Freedom Bands™ wristbands, a new product designed to show support for the U.S. troops.
Marked with the word “FREEDOM,” the wristbands offer a simple yet powerful reminder of the sacrifices made each day to preserve the American way of life. After covering the costs of manufacturing and administration, the creators of Freedom Bands have pledged to donate 100 percent of its revenue to the Armed Forces Relief Trust to aid soldiers and their families. (See letter of acceptance posted on the Internet [at www.freedombands.us/en/charities.php] from Admiral Charles Abbot, U.S. Navy (Ret.), president and chief executive officer, Navy Marine Corps Relief Society.)
The new Freedom Bands are smartly designed silicon wristbands that come in red, white, blue, as well as a marbled band with all three colors, and are similar to those made popular by the Lance Armstrong Wear Yellow Live Strong Foundation. According to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, more than 20 million Live Strong Wristbands™ have been purchased. The new Freedom Bands were created to bolster support for the war on terror and our troops who sacrifice for freedom.
“When a soldier needs to come home for a funeral or a family emergency, he or she can turn to the AFRT for assistance in getting the needed funds,” said Steve Cloward, president and chief executive officer of Freedombands. “We are grateful for what our troops are doing in defending freedom and fighting terror, and we feel this is one way for us to show our thanks.”
The wristbands come in both youth and adult sizes and can be purchased in packages of 10 for $10, or four packages of three with red, white, blue bands for $10, giving customers 12 bands for $10. Non-profit organizations, clubs, teams and other groups can buy the wristbands at wholesale prices and sell them for profit.
