Charles Logan Patrick will turn 1 year old on Oct. 11, but he still can’t roll over. He can’t hold up his head. He doesn’t crawl, or even move his legs.
What Logan, as he is known to friends and family, can do is flash a smile, wave to a new face and give his mom a high five.
San Marcos — David Rowley wears a rubber hot pink bracelet that stays around his wrist seven days a week. He just waits for someone to ask him what it’s for, so he can give them the spill: It’s only for men “tough enough†to wear pink, and it’s worn to raise awareness about breast cancer.
Magic guard Steve Francis doesn’t know who Ave Maria Green is but he sure wishes he had her business foresight.
In 1999, Green created what has turned into the latest NBA rage and one that gets a green light from the league’s fashion police: the silicone rubber “baller ID bands” that were put on the global map thanks to cyclist Lance Armstrong and his yellow cancer awareness LIVESTRONG bands produced by Nike.
Former president Bill Clinton was caught “Green” handed at the VH1 Save the Music 10th Anniversary Gala wearing Simmons Jewelry Co’s philanthropic Green Bracelet. Russell Simmons saw Clinton backstage at the event and seized the opportunity to tell him about the Diamond Empowerment Fund, his initiative that gives back to Africa.
The word ‘philanthropy’ acquired a new meaning when the celebrated cyclist Lance Armstrong created the famous yellow silicon rubber bracelets with the words “Live Strong†written on it. These initial wristbands were manufactured in collaboration with Nike and the proceeds from their sell were meant to go to the nonprofit charitable Lance Armstrong Foundation.
