She explained that the bracelets were being given out in Newtown and, knowing that I'm a teacher, she wanted me to have one. I was very touched. I noticed that the bag it came in said "Wristband Connections", so I decided to look them up online. Here's what I discovered....
"ANGELS OF SANDY HOOK" MEMORIAL WRISTBAND
This Angels of Sandy Hook wristband was designed by one of our customers who gave out thousands all over Newtown. Since then he has been overwhelmed with order requests. We have been asked to sell & distribute all of the orders through our site so that everyone who wants one anywhere in the country can have one. Since this is our specialty, we are happy to do so.
All of the proceeds beyond the cost of the bands, shipping envelope and our time will be donated to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund. A system of checks and balances will be used to confirm all the donations are being sent from these sales and we will keep you up to date on our Facebook page as to where you can see that each week. We appreciate all your requests and support in having us take on this task.
