Welcome to my fundraising page! I am very excited to raise money for Beads of Courage because it is a cause I believe in. Thank you for supporting my RIDE FOR COURAGE with your donation today. All funds raised go directly to Beads of Courage.
- For every $100 I raise a child can be moved off the Beads of Courage Beads in the Mail waitlist. Many children with rare diseases await Beads of Courage as member hospitals do not have the capacity to support them with Beads of Courage.
- For every $100 raised 10 kids can receive support through the Beads of Courage Bead Strong Program provided virtually by the Beads of Courage expert child life team. A child or teen that anxiously awaits an opportunity to connect with others and have an experience in art that heals.
- For every $25 a sibling can receive much-needed support through the Beads of Courage sibling program. A sibling who worries about their brother or sister coping with a serious illness.
- For every $25 a clinician can receive the Beads of Courage Bead Mindful Program.
There are so ??many demands for the programs and services that Beads of Courage provides.
Thank you so much for your help! Every bead tells a story of courage, honor and hope.
