bead inspired

Bead Inspired is the signature fundraiser of Beads of Courage designed to raise money to support the Beads of Courage Program for children coping with cancer and other serious illness as provided at area hospitals. Bead Inspired is hosted by talented bead artists. All beads made at the event are donated to Beads of Courage to distribute to children coping with life threatening illness who participate in the Beads of Courage Program during their long and difficult treatment journey.

Flaming hot torches The main attraction of a Bead Inspired event is the opportunity to watch talented bead artists melting glass at flaming hot torches as they make one-of-a-kind beads for children in the Beads of Courage Program. The Event is free to attend and those who attend Bead Inspired can elect to:
  • Make a unique beaded bracelet with on-site design help
  • Shop the Bead Inspired Gift Shop with one-of-a-kind gifts for sale
  • Sponsor a bead for a child coping with a serious illness
Each Bead Inspired event concludes with a reception and live auction of one-of-a-kind artisan beads and artwork. Tickets are available from each host. Please take time to attend an event in your area and support our organization as we provide arts-in-medicine for children coping with serious illness.
