The winds of February sweep in a swarm of holidays, special occasions and opportunities to promote social causes. Custom silicone wristbands are a great way to mark such dates, and raise funds at the same time. From Groundhog Day to Valentine’s Day to Polar Bear Day, February is full of events perfect for wristbands.

For example, February is American Heart Month, to call attention to heart disease, the nation’s Number One killer. Individuals can show support and raise awareness by wearing red silicone wristbands. To highlight awareness of the heart disease risks women face, the American Heart Association also features red dress-shaped lapel pins to highlight its “Go Red for Women” campaign.

February 2, Groundhog Day, is a fun “holiday” for young and old alike. The idea that a small furry animal can predict whether there will be six more weeks of winter has long tickled the fancy of many people. Why not commemorate it with a Groundhog Day wristband fundraiser for a local school or conservation organization? On a more serious note, February also marks Marfan Syndrome Awareness Month, to increase awareness of a rare, potentially fatal genetic disorder. Red wristbands symbolize Marfan Syndrome awareness. National Parent Leadership Month features blue silicone wristbands to signify the importance of preventing child abuse, February also is National Youth Leadership Month.

Of course, no one can forget February’s “800-pound gorilla” – Valentine’s Day! What better way to celebrate the world of romance – especially at school – than with “Be My Valentine” wristbands in a variety of colors?

Don’t forget the best part of silicone wristbands as a fund-raising tool: they’re inexpensive to order and inexpensive to sell. The low cost puts the price of a wristband for virtually any occasion onto the wrist of almost everyone. Yet the per-unit profit margin remains high. Your organization can offer a meaningful item affordably, and still make money.

Silicone wristbands are available in several styles. Debossed bands, the most popular style, press the lettering into the silicone band. Embossed bands raise the lettering off the band. Debossed painted wristbands add colored ink to the text, for a brighter visual appearance. If you want fine detail, for artwork or a logo, go with silk screen printed bands. Segmented bands, which are available debossed, embossed, or silk screened, offer two or more colors adjacent to each other. Or for something different, swirled colors add a fun, lighthearted look, with colors similar to swirled lollipops.
