Help Maintain and Sustain our Forever Home!
It is often said that home is where the heart is. At Beads of Courage, we have a heart for helping. We help little warriors fighting big battles against cancer and other serious illnesses. We help teens and young adults know that they are never alone in their fight for life. Through innovative arts-in-medicine programs, we help these courageous kids, their families and caregivers stay strong and resilient on every step of their treatment journey.
For the past 21 years, Beads of Courage has helped hundreds of thousands of children and youth experience hope and healing while undergoing treatment for cancer, congenital heart defects, serious chronic illnesses such as cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia, burns and traumatic injuries, as well as families with a baby in the NICU. Every bead we give to a child enrolled in the flagship Beads of Courage program is spirit-lifting, which can be lifesaving in the moment. Thank you to all who contributed to our down payment and more ($190,000) on our Forever Home!
We have moved to a larger building where we house all of our operations under one roof improving our efficiency and productivity. We have a beautiful, large space for volunteers to help us package and mail more than 14 million beads annually. We can hold large fundraising events and host classes to teach beadmaking skills to children and adults. We proudly welcome potential donors to explore our mission in person and see how their support is put to use daily helping children face the biggest and scariest challenges any of us will ever face.
Thank you to all who are our “1 in 100” Hero of Hope donors who gave $1,500 or more. We honored all our Heroes of Hope donors on our Aspire sculpture at our Grand Opening.
Additional support helps with mortgage and utility payments, storage solutions for beads, and minor property improvements. Thank you for making our Forever Home a home where our heart for helping has room to grow and thrive.
Thank you believing in beads, the mission of Beads of Courage and a creating a place our bead family can forever call their home in Tucson, Arizona.
