Thank You Bead Artists! Join the Champions Challenge!

Thank You, Bead Artists!

Your creativity and compassion make a lasting difference for brave kids. Every bead you donate helps children and teens coping with serious illness honor their courage and tell their powerful stories. Whether you work in glass or polymer clay, your artistry brings hope and healing to brave kids when they need it most.

Please join our Bead Artists Facebook Group for updates throughout the year!

Thank you for considering a monetary gift — it helps us deliver Beads of Courage to brave kids and and sustain the programs they rely on.

Important Note: Bead Delivery to Hospitals—None of our member hospitals are set up for direct donation.

To ensure safety, quality, and proper documentation, all beads used in Beads of Courage programs must be sent directly to us. Member hospitals are not able to accept bead donations on their own. Every bead we distribute must include a Beads of Courage intention card, and our team is responsible for reviewing and preparing each bead before it reaches a child. Thank you for sending your beads directly to Beads of Courage so we can safely deliver them to the hospitals we serve!

The Bead Artist Champions Challenge is our annual celebration of creativity, generosity, and courage. From January 1 to December 31, bead artists donate as many beads as they can from handcrafted glass and polymer clay beads to support brave kids coping with cancer and other serious illness.

Every bead you create helps a child honor their courage. As you donate throughout the year, you can receive recognition in one of our three medal tiers:
