The Carry a Bead Program
The Courage Rally celebrates our Carry a Bead program, which connects community members to provide connection and encouragement to children in the hospital coping with cancer and other serious illness.
Here’s how it works:
- Each kit includes two matching beads.
- You carry one bead during a meaningful activity or event as a symbol of encouragement.
- You return one bead, along with a note of support, which is then given to a child receiving care through Beads of Courage.
- You keep the matching bead as a lasting reminder of your compassionate act.
By participating in Carry a Bead, you become part of a community dedicated to providing hope, connection, and encouragement to brave kids. You can help honor their courage and tell their stories today with your support.
The bead you return will be gifted to a child in the hospital coping with cancer or other serious illness on a tough treatment day, and you’ll keep the matching bead as a reminder of the connection you made. The beads returned are beloved by the children in our program, as it provides an outside connection that someone out there is cheering them on and they love seeing the adventure their bead went on.
