Life...Liberty...Freedom
Three simple words. Three massive ideas. One good cause. Life, Liberty, Freedom. Those three words are imprinted on "FREEDOMBANDS™", a silicone rubber wristband much like the Lance Armstrong "LIVESTRONG™" bands.. The cause for "FREEDOMBANDS™" is members of the United States Military and their families. The group ("Share our Gifts Foundation") donates 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the bands to charities such as:


A Million Thanks

A Million Thanks is a year-round campaign to show our U.S. Military Men and Women, past and present, our appreciation for their sacrifices, dedication, and service to our country through our letters, emails, cards, prayers, and thoughts.



Armed Forces Childrens Education Fund

The ARMED FORCES CHILDREN’S EDUCATION FUND, Inc. (AFCEF) was established on May 1, 2003, the first day of National Military Appreciation Month (NMAM).
The purpose of the non-profit corporation is to be able to financially assist the educational needs of the surviving children of the U.S. Military men and women who lost their lives on or after October 7, 2001, the commencement of Afghanistan operations, as part of the global war on terrorism defined as "Operation Enduring Freedom".


Armed Forces Relief Trust

The mission of the Armed Forces Relief Trust is to assist the military aid societies by providing a single vehicle to accept donations that will benefit the men and women of our Armed Forces and their families. Examples of such assistance may include payment for a soldier's airfare to fly home for his father's funeral, a special reading program for a sailor's daughter, special medical attention for a pilot's expectant spouse, or college tuition for a soldier's child.


Fisher House Foundation

Supporting America's military in their time of need, we provide"a home away from home" that enables family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time -- during hospitalization for an illness, disease or injury.


Red Cross


USA Cares

USA Cares exists to help servicemembers and their families deployed across America and around the globe. USA Cares provides support with relevant and direct assistance that improves challenging situations and betters the life and well-being of Americans who ask so little, yet give so very much.



So, go buy a "FREEDOMBAND™" today. Tell your friends.

A Republican in San Francisco (Yes, he's under deep cover) relays his tales of interest... ...ok, "interest" is a strong and subjective word but you get the point.
