Wear Your Music Raises Over 60,000 Dollars for Charity in 2011

The creators of guitar string bracelets make more than just a fashion statement with the Original Artist Bracelet: Donating Profits to Artists' Charities of Choice

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Wear Your Music, the creators of the Original Artist Bracelet, succeeded in donating over 60,000 dollars to charity in 2011. The Original Artist Bracelet is custom-made from the intertwined guitar strings of music icons with profits donated to individual musicians' charities of choice.

Over 150 artists including modern favorites Jason Mraz, John Mayer and Jack Johnson, classic legends like Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend and Gregg Allman and country music icons like Dolly Parton and Tim McGraw are donating their strings to create The Original Artist Bracelets.

"We created this company in 2007 when we noticed that musicians were just tossing away their used guitar strings," explains Hannah Garrison, Co-Founder of Wear Your Music. "We wanted to use these guitar strings to make a difference by recycling a piece of rock memorabilia to create bracelets for fans. We took it a step further and decided to donate the proceeds from the sale of the Artist Bracelet to the musician's charity of choice."

Wear Your Music has sold over 1000 artist bracelets in 2011 alone.

"People are becoming more socially conscious," continues Garrison. "This fuels our success and allows us to make an even bigger difference."

Prices for The Original Artist Bracelets start at $50. www.wearyourmusic.org
