Make A Wish and Beads of Courage

Together making healing happen for children and teens coping with serious illness.

Beads of Courage, Inc. believes that every bead given provides an opportunity for a caring transaction to transpire. We are honored to recognize our partners in caring who make a commitment to help healing happen through the gift of symbolic beads!

We are proud to partner with the Make a Wish Foundation of America and authorized chapters to provide the Beads of Courage® Make a Wish Bead to Beads of Courage partner hospitals, Beads of Courage Members, or to children who are not in Beads of Courage and not affiliated with another bead program or program of Beads of Courage likeness when a wish is granted.

Custom-made for Make a Wish Chapters to give to Beads of Courage members, this bead is a way to honor courage for those families whose wish is granted! 

Beads of Courage DREAM Activities

For Make-A-Wish chapters looking for meaningful and intentional activities to support children, teens and their families, Beads of Courage DREAM Activities offer opportunities for creativity, reflection, connection and encouragement.

Each activity pairs a creative experience with a special bead and caring intention, providing a tangible reminder of the experience and its meaning. DREAM Activities can be used to create moments of connection and encouragement for children and families before, during or after a wish experience.
