Nicky Hilton spotted wearing BFF Bracelet to support US military troops

Nicky Hilton has been spotted wearing a BFF Bracelet in support of US military troops. The BFF Bracelet, which stands for “Best Armed Forces Friend,” is a show of support for US military troops around the world. The bracelets are a fundraiser for the American Freedom Foundation. A BFF Bracelet like Nicky Hilton’s is priced at $10 with 25% of the proceeds from sales of the bracelets going to fund charities which support families and members of the armed forces.

Meryl Poster, Co-Founder NFF Entertainment: “Through the BFF Bracelet Program, our hope is to promote appreciation of the importance of friendship, service and community while raising awareness for the American Freedom Foundation. National Best Friends Day is synonymous with the mission of this initiative.”

The concept of the BFF Bracelet is to connect a civilian supporter with a deployed troop. Each bracelet comes with a serial number. There are two bracelets with the same serial number; one purchased by the civilian and one sent to a soldier in Afghanistan or Iraq. Both the civilian and the soldier can then register their bracelet online and connect with each other.

In addition to Nicky Hilton, celebrities such as Olivia Palermo, Giuliana Rancic, Kendall & Kylie Jenner, Jessica Szohr, Jordin Sparks, Demi Lovato, Christie Brinkley and America Ferrera have been spotted wearing the BFF Bracelet in support of our nation’s troops.
