I just heard about this. I have no direct connection to this endeavor, but, it sounds like a good idea. If you like the yellow wrist bands inspired by Lance Armstrong, I think you will like these orange wrist bands too. According to the two yoginis that are behind this:
"Just like a Tsunami, yoga has been a tremendous force in our lives. When we're around others who have been deeply affected by yoga, it makes us want to be better people. The yoga community brings out the best in us. Even though we want to, we can't go to help the people in need. But we can send a gift. And we can give our gifts in a way that shows we're grateful for the many gifts that have come our way through yoga and the vibrant yoga community."
When you buy a $2.99 wristband, they will contribute $1 to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, for the purpose of aiding Asian Tsunami victims. You will find all the details here.
