World Beads of Courage Day 2022
WORLD BEADS OF COURAGE DAY – A GLOBAL CELEBRATION OF COURAGE
LET’S MAKE COURAGE ROAR!
THANK YOU for making the 2022 World Beads of Courage Day a “roaring” success! We are so grateful to you for participating in our 4th Annual global celebration of courage. Many thanks for your support of our mission and the impact you’ve made on the children and families we serve. Please join us next year as we commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Beads of Courage and the 5th anniversary of World Beads of Courage Day. Thank you for helping make healing happen!
Let’s make courage ROAR around the world!
Join us on September 15, 2022 for the 4th Annual World Beads of Courage Day. This yearly celebration focuses the world’s attention on the amazing courage of children coping with serious illness, and raises funds Beads of Courage urgently needs to sustain our mission of hope and healing in more than 400 children’s hospitals in the US and internationally.
All of September is World Beads of Courage Month and 2022 is also the Year of the Tiger – our noble mascot! We’re counting on you to help make this the biggest and best World Beads of Courage Day ever. Together, let’s make courage roar around the world!
In real life, tigers roar to communicate with others and make their presence known. A tiger’s roar can be heard up to two miles away and is said to be as loud as a jet engine! Thank you for joining us to celebrate the fierce courage of kids coping with serious illness and making your “roar” heard and felt on their behalf.
This World Beads of Courage Day also marks the unofficial kickoff of our year-long 20th Anniversary celebration in 2023, as we commemorate the very first Beads of Courage program, piloted at Phoenix Children’s Hospital in February 2003. More 20th Anniversary news coming soon!
Bead mom Allison says, “My son, Sully, is participating in World Beads of Courage Day because he is the most courageous baby I know! Sully spent 131 days in the NICU fighting for his life. He survived multiple life threatening situations, three big surgeries, and a few diagnoses along the way. He’s speaking up for courage because he knows what it means to be strong and brave, and to smile no matter what!”
