Keep A Breast Foundation - I Love Boobies Bracelets

I Love Boobies Bracelets

The "I Love Boobies" bracelets were created by the Keep A Breast Foundation in 2004. The Foundation created and sold a series of one-inch wide silicone rubber bracelets, emblazoned with the slogan "I ♥ Boobies! (Keep A Breast)" to raise money and create a conversation about breast cancer among young people. The positive and upbeat awareness-raising campaign was designed to make young people feel comfortable talking about a subject that is otherwise fearful and taboo.

As the bracelets became a fashion craze among teenagers, many school districts began to ban the wearing of the bracelets as the slogan conflicted with school dress codes that prohibit the wearing of any item that includes sexually suggestive language or pictures. It comes with a lot of different colors from blue to pink, which is the initial color for breast cancer, and it has been described as a unisex bracelet everyone and anyone can wear.

Famous quotes containing the word love:

    For those that love the world serve it in action,
    Grow rich, popular and full of influence,
    And should they paint or write, still it is action:
    The struggle of the fly in marmalade.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
