Program Sponsorship Opportunities

BEADS OF COURAGE PROGRAM SPONSOR OPPORTUNITIES

The mission of Beads of Courage is to provide innovative arts-in-medicine programs for children coping with serious illness, their families, and the clinicians who care for them. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on the generous support of donors to fulfill this meaningful mission. We have an ongoing need for individual donors and corporate philanthropy to sustain and grow the programs and services we seek to provide for more than 60,000 children and families.

Every Beads of Courage Program integrates the use of beads – the earliest art form known to humans – as visible, tangible symbols of human experiences that need and deserve to be expressed. Every dollar you donate provides the opportunity for COURAGE to be honored, HOPE to be given, and JOY to be experienced. Thank you for helping make healing happen through a program sponsorship that will have a long-lasting impact on our mission and the children, youth, and families we serve. For more information or to discuss an opportunity tailored to your budget and area of interest, please email Jean Gribbon jean@beadsofcourage.org.

Thank you to our generous sponsors and supporters who have given to our cause to make healing happen through the art form of beads!

2024 OPPORTUNITIES

BEADS AT HOME

Help us deliver “Beads at Home” to children who cannot receive Beads of Courage at the hospital, either because their hospital does not offer the Beads of Courage Program or does not provide it for their medical condition. Currently, more than 600 children are waiting for a sponsor like you to help them get their Beads of Courage. Each $100 sponsorship moves a child off the waiting list and enrolls them to receive Beads at Home, with priority given to the child who has been waiting the longest.

Sponsorship Perks:

You receive a special Home Bead for each child you sponsor
The children you sponsor receive a matching Home Bead and a letter naming you as their sponsor (unless you wish to remain anonymous)
