Later, several charitable organizations followed LAF‘s example and printed special English words or phrases on rubber bands, which could not only raise funds but also be used to promote the organization‘s beliefs. This trend began in the United States and soon spread to Europe as well. As of 2017, rubber bracelets remained the most popular accessory in Europe and America.
