These bracelets were created back in the spring of 2014, when Washingtonville resident, Richie Cipher, was homebound after being diagnosed with brain cancer. “I made them all through my chemo and radiation,” Richie explained. “I used the bracelets as a way to relax.” Richie began selling his bracelets at a deli in Sugar Loaf, as well as various festivals to help raise money for childhood cancer research.
In the summer of 2015, Richie contacted Mr. Radday about his bracelets and the cause behind them. Since then, Mr. Cipher’s wrist bands have been on display in Betty’s Country Kitchen for people to not only purchase, but to aid with bringing awareness to childhood cancers. The proceeds from the bracelets are donated to multiple foundations such as the Inactive Advanced Cancer Research Foundation, The Carolyn Sullivan Foundation and the Hudson Valley Cancer Resource Center.
Betty’s Country Kitchen is located on 32 West Main Street in Washingtonville right next to the Washingtonville Middle School. Inside, the bracelets are being sold in two sizes, small and large. Come on in, buy a bracelet and support a good cause!
