What if we could build a community of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people, each contributing a small amount? What if we could create very inexpensive, but cool fashionable products that people could buy, and in doing so, they would be making donations to a multitude of causes that are important to them? If it snowballed, we could raise millions of dolla ...rs to fight for the world's most important causes.

And, that’s where we’re hopefully headed. We’re not sure we’ve come up with the ultimate answer to change the world overnight, but we’ve got a realistic solution that we know could make a big difference.

The Bracelets

The “I’m Tired of” bracelet concept was sparked by the success of Lance Armstrong’s effort to raise money for cancer with a simple silicone bracelet. When we set our criteria, we decided that, like Armstrong’s, first and foremost, it had to be inexpensive so everyone could afford it. And, equally important, we had to be able to make a substantial donation to charity from each one. We’ve accomplished both. For every $10 bracelet sold, we donate $5 (that’s half) to important causes. You pick the cause and your bracelet and the donation will automatically be made on your behalf.

Next, our products had to be both eco friendly and fashionable if we wanted lots and lots of people to wear them. We’ve spent the last eight years in the fashion business, the last two in eco fashion. Both of us have practiced a green lifestyle for many years, not in a treehugger kind of way, but always keeping our Planet in mind in a modern way, and making changes. Last, but not least, we needed the bracelet to be completely made in the USA.
