Freedombands, Inc. has presented another $10,000 check to the Armed Forces Relief Trust. Proceeds from wristband sales help U.S. troops and their families.
December 21, 2004 (Press Release) --
Freedombands, Inc., today announced it has donated anther $10,000 to the Armed Forces Relief Trust (AFRT) to provide emergency funds for U.S. Military soldiers and their families.
With the increased sales of its Freedom Bands™ wristbands, a new product designed to show support for the U.S. troops, Freedombands is making good on its promise to donate all after-cost revenue to the Armed Forces Relief Trust (AFRT). Bill Kennedy and Dave Faraldo, representatives from the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society in Jacksonville, Fla., accepted the check on Monday, December 13 during a live newscast on the WJXT 4 morning show in Jacksonville.
"This is the second check of $10,000 we've presented in 13 days," said Steve Cloward, president and chief executive officer of Freedombands. "We hope that as Freedom Bands become more and more popular, there will be more and more of these checks to present to the AFRT."
The AFRT has a strong history of providing needed funds for soldiers-in-crisis. Soldiers who must travel back to the United States for a funeral, the birth of a child or other emergency can turn to the AFRT to access the money they need to travel. Soldiers and their families can also apply for interest-free loans from the AFRT to help with bills while their family is away serving their country.
"We feel strongly that we can make a positive difference for our men and women in the military," Cloward said. "We have been impressed with the way so many people have rallied around the troops. It makes me proud to be an American."
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.
The new Freedom Bands are smartly designed silicone 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.
The wristbands come in both youth and adult sizes and can be purchased at www.freedombands.us. Non-profit organizations, clubs, teams and other groups can buy the wristbands at wholesale prices and sell them for a profit.
