| This Collection of fashionable wristbands and jewelry were designed to enable all ages of Americans to show their support, (both visibly and financially) for our Team USA.
The U.S. Olympic Collection made its debut for the Winter Olympic Games 2006 in Torino, Italy. This ornamental jewelry collection featured the US Olympics 5 Rings on necklaces, bracelets and brooches. The collection also featured beautiful snowflakes adorned in Swarovski crystals and outlining the 5 Olympic Rings. It was designed for Americans to show their pride and support for our US Olympic athletes.
For the summer games in Beijing 08-08-08, the U.S. Olympic Collection was inspired by the Olympic athletes themselves. Using the new trend in stainless steel jewelry, the collection was designed with the help and input of many of the athletes. The clean lines and fashion forward pieces, including our dog tags and silver cuff bracelets were in step with the athletes busy training schedules. In honor of their many years of dedication and commitment the phrase -Dream. Believe. Achieve- was etched into many of the jewelry pieces. The “Featured Product” of the US Olympic Collection for Beijing was the US Olympic Team Ring wristbands. These cool red, white and blue wristbands were developed so that each and every athlete would wear them on their pursuit for the Olympic medal: And every American could wear them to support their efforts. At the end of each Olympic Game, the flame is extinguished but the training for our athletes is not . These dedicated individuals, both Olympians and future Olympic athletes are still working hard to accomplish their Olympic dreams. They train all year long and for many years in gyms, tracks and pools across our country. USA is the only Team that is funded solely by private contributions and sponsorships. They need our support behind them every day, so they can stand on the podium and represent Team USA. Without your support, they could not compete.

With the proceeds from every purchase going back to Team USA and related organizations, the US Olympic Team Ring bracelets soon became a cause marketing campaign that was used by many of the National Governing Boards within the USOC to raise funds for their individual teams. USA Field Hockey raised over $12,000 through their efforts. The USA Softball Team sold out of the Team Ring wristbands on their Bound 4 Beijing National Tour. USA Equestrian sold over 10,000 Team Ring bracelets to benefit their “Young Riders Club”. While at Sharp’s Gymnastics, Booster Club moms orchestrated sales to raise over $6,000 to send Bridget Sloan and her family to Beijing. There Bridget along with the USA Gymnastics team won a silver medal.
| When the closing ceremonies come to an end, our athletes are still training for their next Olympic Game. Their training takes years of devotion and costs millions of dollars. The U.S. athletes are all privately funded through private donations and sponsors. They are not government supported like every other country that competes in the Olympic games. That’s why it is so important that we raise funds for them to continue their training all year long. Although the Olympic Games play out for 17 days every two years, the athletes train and compete 365 days each year.
Post No Bills, Inc. and The US Olympic Collection is proud to continue this campaign for Vancouver 2010, with the Team Rings Vancouver edition. The US Olympic Collection raised over $300,000 for our athletes in 2008 with sales of the Team Ring wristbands for Beijing. (Click here to purchase your Limited Collectable Beijing Team Ring wristbands). We hope to raise in excess of $1 Million dollars for our athletes training for Vancouver 2010.
The colors of the Team Ring bracelets mirror the colors of the American Flag. With the reminder of our great country and the times we find ourselves in, grassroots fundraisers like the US Olympic Team Ring wristbands allows every American across the country to get involved and show their support and pride.
