Get Reese’s Bracelet to Support Women Worldwide

Lucas Jackson/ Reuters/ Landov

Reese Witherspoon announced her role as the honorary chair of the Avon Foundation last year, and today she appeared before the United Nations to help the beauty giant announce their partnership with the United Nations Development Fund for Women. Reese is not only the spokeswoman but has helped introduce the Women’s Empowerment Bracelet, which she proudly modeled today at the U.N. You too can get one of these silk and siver bracelets for only $3. Net proceeds of $2.25 from each bracelet go directly to create a new Avon Empowerment Fund. The first $500,000 from bracelet sales will be matched by the Avon Foundation for a total donation of $1 million to UNIFEM for projects that will empower women around the world. Join Reese in supporting women’s rights about the world by clicking here to buy a bracelet for yourself or a woman in your life.

I’m actually not interested in the bracelett of Reese’s. I want to know where to get the black turtleneck sweater Jessica Simpson is wearing in the pics with Tony Romo. I love it.

I love this idea as I am a huge supporter of the race to end violence against women. It is awsome to see that people like Reese are making a difference. I was wondering if the braclets are available in Canada? I would love to support the cause.

Good for Reese — she “get’s it”. This is not about finding the black turtleneck that Jessica Simpson is wearing or about what the bracelet is made of. This is about a very small donation — probably less than your daily Latte — that will further the rights of women around the world who are oppressed and abused daily. I, for one, will buy several and not care if anyone actually likes or wears them!

So i thought the idea was great and I bought two of them, and they are def not silk, they are actually very cheap looking, more so than i expected. they are loose for my (i would say average sized) wrist, and the actual infinity charm seems just very plain. I’m still going to wear it, to support the cause, but I am just a little disappointed.
