Beads of Courage

By now, you know that fighting cancer – especially breast cancer – is part of our mission statement at The Bead Gallery. We host an annual charity fundraiser (now for Mothers' Day) that has raised over $10,000 each of the last three years! Thank you so much!!

Recently, Kapiolani Women's Center has been given the green light to be the first PILOT program for an adult Beads of Courage in the U.S. They need to raise $1000 to kick off the program. I just receieved an email from Lynne W. asking for some assistance.

This is just the start!! I am selling jewelry RIGHT HERE to fundraise for this wonderful program.

What is Beads of Courage about??
I cut and pasted from their site:

Beads of Courage® is a resilience-based intervention designed to support and strengthen the protective resources in children coping with serious illness. Through the program children tell their story using colorful beads as meaningful symbols of courage that commemorate milestones they have achieved along their unique treatment path.

Ongoing evaluation of the Beads of Courage® program indicates that the program helps to decrease illness-related distress, increase the use of positive coping strategies, helps children find meaning in illness, and restore sense of self in children coping with serious illness. The program also provides something tangible the child can use to tell about their experience during cancer treatment and after.
