The Gingerbread Factory – Benefiting Beads of Courage Programs at Valley Children’s Hospital

Valley Children’s Beads of Courage Program Support

We are proud to support the mission of Beads of Courage. We believe in the power of beads to help children coping with serious illness RECORD, TELL and OWN their stories of COURAGE.

Background:

We were so inspired by Courageous Carly, a former patient at Valley Children’s Healthcare, who embodies strength and kindness. Her story is woven into the beads, reflecting her resilience and fight against illness. Beads of Courage celebrates kids like Carly, providing them with a sense of purpose and connection during challenging times.

Courageous Carly inspires us to do more for other kids and with your help we can make healing happen through Beads of Courage Programs at Valley Children’s Hospital! Thank you!

All funds raised from donations and our events will be used exclusively to provide Beads of Courage Program for courageous kids receiving treatment at Valley Children’s Healthcare.
