The basis for the AS bracelet sales strategy is to use families of "Angels" to sell the bands.
"When someone asks them about their "Angel" they can share the knowledge they have and then ask for their support by purchasing a band," Heinzmann said. "We are in the very early stages of this campaign, and I'm very pleased with the status so far. I hope the program continues to grow."
100 percent of all profits are donated to ASF for hope in finding a cure.
The goal of Band of Angels is to sell 25,000 bands. Every 5,000 bracelets sold generates at least $6,500 for ASF.
"It is so much more important for people to understand AS than to wear or buy a band, but this program gives our core group a reason to go out and spread the news," Heinzmann said.
Through hard work and dedication, parents of "Angels," caregivers and friends have sold 3,408 bands as of Feb. 12.
