Why Fundraising Wristbands Work (and why schools trust them)

Fundraising wristbands do more than collect donations. They create pride, awareness, and a visible “we’re in this together” moment that spreads across students, parents, teachers, and the wider community. With the right material, they also support safety and organization at fundraising events and school excursions.

Key benefits schools and organizations love:

Affordable fundraising items with bulk pricing to help you stretch every dollar raised
High visibility branding for your cause, team, or campaign—great for sponsors too
Group control made simple with color-coded wristbands (organize by grade, class, or team)
Safer field trips when bands include school logos, emergency contact info, or a quick message
Fast support when you need it (use our chat feature for quick help with orders, sizing, or artwork)

Materials that Match your Event: Silicone, Tyvek®, and Plastic

Choose the wristband type that fits your goal—fundraising, admission, security, or all three.

Silicone wristbands (rubber bracelets) for long-term awareness

Silicone fundraising wristbands—often called rubber wristbands or rubber bracelets—are the classic choice for school spirit and ongoing support. They’re latex free, comfortable for students, and built for extended durability so the message stays visible for months (or longer).

Why they’re a top choice:

Custom bracelets with names, mascots, mottos, or campaign messages
Great for repeat wear at school, sporting events, and community fundraisers
A simple, proven idea: supporters purchase, wear, and promote your cause everywhere

Tyvek® wristbands for short-term security and admission control

For single-day (or weekend) events, Tyvek wristbands are a go-to for fast check-in and tamper resistance. Made from tough, water-resistant material, they’re ideal when you need non-transferable entry or quick identification.

Best for:

School carnivals, dances, ticketed fundraisers, and concession access
Outdoor events where bands need to stay readable and intact
Simple crowd control with a clear visual system at the door

Plastic wristbands (plastic bracelets) for multi-day use

Need a stronger option for trips, camps, or events that run longer? Plastic wristbands deliver secure wear with a snap closure and smooth finish. A key advantage: plastic wristbands can be used for up to a week, making them perfect for multi-day schedules.

Best for:

Wristbands for school trips, overnight excursions, and week-long programs
Multi-day fundraising events where you need durable identification
Any situation where you want a band that can’t be easily transferred

Sizes, Options, and Customization (simple to order)

You can keep it minimal—or build a full branded system for your fundraisers. Most schools choose a few colors for organization plus a custom message for pride and clarity.

Popular customization options:

Custom text (cause name, year, school, team, or short message)
School logos, simple icons, or sponsor branding
Six different inscription styles for silicone bands (mix and match for readability and style)
Color choices for group tracking (different wristbands for different classes, teams, or access levels)

Smart safety + organization upgrades for schools:

Color-coded wristbands ensure supervisors can keep groups organized and reduce the chance a student is lost during excursions
Add bus numbers to help younger students board the correct bus and arrive at the right stop
Include a school logo and emergency contact information for added peace of mind
