We are haveing a Bandana Day for Baby John on 4/20 so if u have on put it on for the day . This is not an offical one on there weba page just something we taught would be cool to do.Send us ur photos please ….
They were created by friends of Alicia’s because of an experience she had when she returned to school after chemotherapy treatment. The chemotherapy had taken her hair but not her spirit; she was determined to finish school and wore a bandana to cover her head. On her first day back, four different teachers asked her to remove her bandana, not realizing why she was wearing it. Alicia was embarrassed and devastated and so were her friends and family.
After Alicia lost her battle with cancer, her friends decided that the school needed an event to raise awareness about the struggles cancer patients face. Now, Bandana Days are held in elementary, middle and high schools across the country to raise awareness and money to help ARVF fulfill our mission. New this year we are Banding together for the future. Our Friendship Bands are made from our bandanas by volunteers and raise awareness of hospitalized teens. Our teen kits each contain a friendship band. These friendship bands can be sold along with the bandanas or alone. Please contact us if your school or community organization is interested in organizing a Bandana Day/Friendship Band Day. info@arvf.org.
