making goals togetherTeam Beads of Courage If you are a professional or amateur athlete we invite you to join Team Beads of Courage (Team BOC). Every participating member of Team BOC will be a source of encouragement for a child with a serious illness, while providing support for our organization through a tax-deductible donation.
Connecting kindness, compassion and courage Every bead goes on a journey. It starts with an artist who made the bead, it joins an athlete in training, and makes it way to a child in treatment as a source of encouragement. Connecting the kindness of others with a courageous child. Team BOC - a random act of kindness in its purest form. How it works- Athlete emails or faxes their entry form and makes a donation to Beads of Courage.
- Beads of Courage mails athlete materials and assigns athlete a Beads of Courage team bead.
- All participating athletes receive 2 beads. One bead they keep - building their own collection of team beads - a symbol of their support of children coping with serious illness.
- One bead is returned to Beads of Courage after the athlete's event and passed along to a child in treatment in need of a boost of encouragement.
- Athlete is encouraged to wear one of their team beads during their training and at the main event/race/competition.
- We would like the athlete to email team@beadsofcourage.org a photo of themselves with their Beads of Courage team bead.
- This is so the child who ultimately receives their team bead can locate their athlete.
- Athlete returns one of the team beads to Beads of Courage with a note of encouragement after completing their event. This bead and note is then distributed to any one of our member hospitals who will get it to a child or teen in treatment.
