MyFBM_W_A_CircleofBlueBecause approximately 15,000 children are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes every year, the My FBM team has worked to raise awareness and show support to all our friends and fans living with this disease. Using the blue circle – a worldwide symbol of Diabetes awareness – the call went out for submissions of blue and white friendship bracelets. These were then distributed at summer camp by our diabetes ambassador, Mona, to kids whose lives have been shaped by the disease and continue to hope for the cure.

Our video below tells the story.

“Red, White & Blue… ‘Cause Kids Serve Too!” was the request by our spokesgirl Lexie for fans to send in patriotically-themed friendship bracelets. They were then given to children of military families; kids who endure the daily absence of one or both parents. Red, white and blue bracelets, made by grateful strangers, became symbols of pride and respect for moms and dads serving the United States overseas.

“Pink and White, Kids Join the Fight!” acknowledges kids with a loved one battling breast cancer. With the distribution of pink and white friendship bracelets to children in the shadow of this disease, we let them know they’re not alone in the fight and that their own bravery has not gone unnoticed. A portion from each sale of My Friendship Bracelet Maker™ through the month of October was donated to breast cancer research, and this campaign gained national exposure through segments on Lifetime Television and the Wendy Williams Show.
