About FriendlyBands

Hi, I’m Jessica, the founder of FriendlyBands! I started my business in 2011 when I was just 8 years old. I was inspired after seeing this crafty bracelet kids were wearing. I started making my own bracelets in an effort to help a family friend fundraise for her battle with cancer.

I am an honor student living in Florida and I like to spend my free time playing soccer, reading, fishing and doing arts and crafts. My life is fun and really busy!
Last year when I started making these cool bracelets for this event, it was such a huge success, I decided to turn my hobby into a business! I came up with the name FriendlyBands® and began creating each FriendlyBand® with its own unique name and style. My goal for the future of FriendlyBands is to be a business that gives back to its followers.

Proudly wearing your FriendlyBands is a great way to share school spirit, business associations, and connections with your favorite charity or organization.

FriendlyBands® are more than just a bracelet. They are a symbol of the special bond that friends and family share. They are the perfect way to link people together whether separated by 5 or 5000 miles.

Friendlybands can also be made for specific themes and to raise awareness for special causes. A portion of the sale proceeds from these bands will be donated to the charitable organization they represent.

So go ahead and explore the website…and remember that FriendlyBands® are meant to be shared!

Your friend,
Jessica
