Hurricane Relief Bracelets Help Relief Agencies Raise Funds and Awareness

Relief Agencies and non-profits seeking ways to raise funds in wake of Hurricane Gustav use silicone bracelets to increase awareness.

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) September 4, 2008 -- Since Lance Armstrong issued his now famous LiveStrong bracelets, non-profit groups have been using silicone awareness bracelets to raise money and create awareness for various causes.

Now with areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida feeling the effects of Hurricane Gustav, the silicone bracelets are being used again to build unity within a community.

We wanted to get these into the hands of organizations that need to raise funds as quickly as possible

One of the larger suppliers of these bracelets, Bagwell Promotions, has a number of stock bracelets ready to ship with the message, "Hurricane Relief" and "Relief, Rebuild, Renewal." These bracelets are available for immediate on line ordering at http://www.bagwellpromotions.com .

"We have these bracelets ready for an event like this," says John Bagwell, President. "We wanted to get these into the hands of organizations that need to raise funds as quickly as possible," he added.

Often these bracelets are purchased by radio stations, car dealers or retail stores and provided to an organization, such as a Red Cross Chapter. That allows for the organization to benefit with all the money raised going to that charity.

Bagwell Promotions is also able to custom produce bracelets with any message such as the name of the organization, the disaster or cause, or a specific community.

The custom bracelets take longer, but Bagwell Promotions is able to furnish these in a few days to just over a week depending upon the bracelet.

To assist in fund raising, Bagwell Promotions has reduced their price on the stock bracelets, and issued special pricing on custom bracelets for Hurricane Gustav disaster relief.

Bagwell Promotions is not a fund raising organization, but provides the bracelets to non-profit groups or others to be used for any purpose they choose.
