We started the Revolution in the summer of 2016 with three goals: to fund research and support for caregivers, to empower the networks of families and friends who have been affected by Alzheimer’s and to have a blast doing so. Designed to be worn every day and inspired by the strong and permanent bond of the rivet, Rivet Revolution bracelets aim to spark conversations, raise awareness and form connections amongst those impacted by Alzheimer’s.
Join the Revolution & help us put an end to Alzheimers!
Why it matters:
One in 10 people age 65 and older (10 percent) has Alzheimer's dementia.
Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's are women.
Alzheimer’s Disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States.
Every 66 seconds someone in the United States develops the disease.
More than 44 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s.
Rivet Revolution is proud to partner with these rockstar organizations. $10 from each bracelet sold will benefit:
Founded in 2012, Part the Cloud® has raised over $17 million for Alzheimer’s research. With 100 percent of the proceeds from Part the Cloud going directly to the Alzheimer’s Association® research efforts, Part the Cloud is helping to support some of the most innovative research in Alzheimer’s prevention. As a result of this increase in funding, the Alzheimer’s Association has awarded 17 research awards since January 2013.
Hilarity for Charity® (HFC) is a movement led by Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen to inspire change and raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease among the millennial generation. For almost five years, their successful Los Angeles Variety Show has entertained young, hip professionals through evenings filled with music and comedy while creating the next generation of Alzheimer’s advocates. Since its inception, Hilarity for Charity has raised more than $6.5 million to support these efforts and established themselves as a force in the Alzheimer’s and comedy communities. Monies raised through Hilarity for Charity benefit families struggling with Alzheimer’s care, increase support groups nationwide, and fund cutting edge research.
The Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement™, founded by Maria Shriver, is a global alliance of individuals, organizations, researchers, foundations, influencers and industry leaders committed to finding out why Alzheimer’s discriminates against women. WAM believes that by answering the question of why women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s, we will unlock the other mysteries surrounding this mind-blowing disease and that will lead to a cure for all.
My Thoughts:
Rivet Revolution combines two of my favorite things, stones and raising funds for honorable causes. Knowing that this business gave back to Alzheimer's research made me ecstatic to review this line. I was able to receive the beautiful Amethyst bracelet. As the website shares: "Amethyst is a calming stone that promotes healing, balance and peace. Each stretch bracelet is unique with subtle variations in color, texture and size of the gemstone beads".
The coloring of my bracelet was gorgeous! Each stone had a mixture of hues of purple in it. It also fit just right! I love how the website allows you to choose a size too. The Small-Medium is up to 6 ½ inches and fits most women and teenagers. The Medium-Large is up to 7 ¼ inches and fits most men. No matter what, Rivet Revolution has a size and stone for you to be looking stylish, feeling good, while also supporting the raising of awareness and research for Alzheimer's. I love the small charm on the bracelet as well, signifying the support of the cause.
If you are looking for a beautiful new addition to your accessory collection that allows you to giving back, I urge you to join the revolution with Rivet to end Alzheimer's!
