The primary purpose of an awareness product is to demonstrate affiliation and support for a particular cause, organization, and/or person. Awareness products can take many forms- from magnets on vehicle’s back bumper, to ribbons pinned on clothing and backpacks. One of our favorites though is of course, silicone awareness wristbands! And depending on the cause, there’s a multitude of established charity wristband colors and themes to choose from!

Red Awareness Wristbands

In 1991, the red ribbon symbolizing AIDS awareness became the first of its kind to bring awareness of a specific disease. The red ribbon was also a way to show support for those living with HIV. Since red is often the color associated with the heart, a red wristband signifies different types of heart disease, congenital heart defects, cardiovascular diseases, congestive heart failure, and long QT syndrome. Red represents a multitude of other disease and illnesses that some people might not have ever heard of, including Apert syndrome, Diamond-Blackfan anemia, epidermolysis bullosa, Poland syndrome, Von Willebrand's disease, and Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome. Besides disease awareness, the color red can also represent programs such as Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.). The color red is also used in combination with other colors like blue, white, orange, gold, and black. For example, red and blue can symbolize hypoplastic left heart syndrome (a type of congenital heart defect), while red and orange signifies adiposis dolorosa, also known as Dercum's disease.

Green awareness Wristbands

The color green is sometimes associated with different types of depression & bipolar disorder. Gray is also used for awareness of mental health illnesses. Green signifies certain disabilities and disorders such as cerebral palsy, Tourette syndrome, nephrotic syndrome, and gastroparesis. Organ donation is also represented by a green wristband, along with bone marrow donation, tissue donation, and organ transplant and organ donation awareness. Environmental issues are always linked to the color green. In 2011, the U.S. Department of Education created the Green Ribbon Schools program for schools that are environmentally conscious. Other shades of green are also used to promote awareness. For example, a lime green wristband could denote Lyme disease or Lymphoma, jade stands for hepatitis B and liver cancer, light green symbolizes celiac disease, and mint green represents genetic disorders.
