Quick answer
Hospital foundations — the charitable fundraising arm of a hospital, separate from clinical care — often use custom wristbands to raise funds for patient support services, equipment and community campaigns.
Hospital foundations rely on ongoing community support to fund things the regular hospital budget doesn't cover, and a wristband is a simple, affordable fundraising item for that purpose.
Why hospital foundations use custom wristbands
A wristband gives donors something tangible for their contribution, encouraging ongoing giving toward patient support services and equipment funds.
Fundraising for patient support services
Wristbands sold or given as a thank-you can help fund patient comfort programs, family support services and other things outside the standard hospital budget.
