New items in Beads of Courage Store

by Patty Lakinsmith on September 2, 2010

Have you seen the cool new items in the BOC store?  One I’m sure you’ll like are the new Giving Bands.  These stretchy, easy to wear bands come in ten fun and bright colors, and have a Beads of Courage charm.  I’m totally picking up a few of these for folks who have helped us by voting every day in the Pepsi Challenge.

Even cuter are the Courage Tigers.  Whether it’s for a friend or a child undergoing treatment, this cuddly plush toy will definitely get a smile.  Need some courage yourself?  Just as sure as the Wizard helped Dorothy find her way back home, Courage Tiger can help you or anyone else who needs a little cuddle.

Beads of Courage on NASCAR helmet.

by Patty Lakinsmith on August 24, 2010

What’s faster than a speeding bullet and is helping promote public awareness of the Beads of Courage program?  Jimmie Johnson, that is, and he’s wearing our logo!  Jimmie will wear a helmet bearing the Beads of Courage and Hunter’s Hope Foundation logos at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at Auto Club Speedway in October.

This is the third year for the Samsung and Jimmie Johnson Helmet of Hope program where nominated charities have a chance at winning the fast flying NASCAR helmet publicity along with a $10,000 grant.  Jimmie is drawing two lucky winners every weekend through September.

The Beads of Courage program has Becca Gladden of Insider Racing News to thank for nominating their cause for this honor.  Thanks a million, Becca!
