I think these bracelets are going the way of the magnetic ribbons everyone is sticking on their cars. My daughter has a Live Strong bracelet-but it's purple and from a convenience store. I truly doubt any money went to anyplace but someone's pocket. A recent article in the Newark Star Ledger reported that people are buying the magnetic ribbons from convenience stores believing their money goes to whatever fund the ribbon may represent. Most times it does not. Before one buys any of these bracelets, ribbons or any other trinket 'for a good cause', ask the seller where the money is going.
