One day when Stephen Colbert was running around to get the audience fired up before the show, he fell and broke his wrist. He now noticed how much wrist-related violence there was on TV and in movies, and he wanted to stop this and also make people more aware of their wrists, so that no one would have to suffer like him. He decided to do it like Lance Armstrong, who wears a yellow bracelet to raise awareness of cancer, to collect money to cancer research and to get people encouraged to live life to the fullest. All profit from the WristStrong bracelets goes to The Yellow Ribbon Fund, which is a charity that primarily helps returning American servicemen, injured during active service and "helps recovering service members through various events and programs, arranged by staff and volunteers, aimed to help the patients and their families enjoy the community."

The WristStrong bracelet is red and comes in two sizes, normal and wrist victim, which can be used on the becasted wrist of Wrist-Victim-Americans or on the skull wrist (neck). There's only one WristStrong rule: you must pass it on to anyone you meet who is more famous than you are, and then this person shall pass it on to anyone more famous than them, and when famous people wear them it sure will raise awareness. Some of the famous people who wear the WristStrong bracelet are: Barack Obama, Seth Rogen, Brian Williams, Al Gore, Salman Rushdie, Matthew Perry and Adrian Grenier.
