Our mission
To provide innovative, arts-in-medicine programs for children coping with serious illness, their families, and the clinicians who care for them.
| Meet Journey — a brave and beautiful girl coping with leukemia. She’s collected beads that honor every moment she’s had to be courageous. Journey’s beads celebrate her bravery and the powerful story she continues to write. "These beads are a reminder to Journey of all the times she’s had to have courage to do something leukemia requires from her. All the times she’s been courageous! She loves collecting them!" -Jamie, Journey's parent |
Beads of Courage, Inc. is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and teens coping with serious illness, their families, and the clinicians who care for them through our Arts-in-Medicine Programs. We believe in creating a context for caring transactions to transpire through our community and encouragement programs.
Every dollar raised will directly support Beads of Courage Programs at Houston-area children’s hospitals. Thanks to your generosity, we’re able to provide the beads we need to continue to support children and teens locally in Houston. Through our programs, we provide the opportunity for COURAGE to be honored, HOPE to be given, and JOY to be experienced
