Beads of Courage

The Florida Glass Dragon members are dedicated to supporting the Beads of Courage program with bead donations.  We hope you will join us in this important endeavor.

500 – 1000 – 1500 – 2000 Beads?

What a challenge for 2021!

Are you taking part in the Beads of Courage  Bead Challenge for 2021? This year, the challenge has been revamped, and levels have been added.

  • GOLD – Donate 1501-2000 beads (stretch goal = 2021)
  • SILVER – Donate 1001-1500 beads
  • BRONZE – Donate 500-1000 beads

Of course, any and all beads are greatly needed, gratefully welcomed by Beads of Courage, and will be loved by the seriously ill children who belong to the program and receive these beads as a part of their health journey.

We have members who have been able to mail in their first (or 2nd) batch already. Even if some of us don’t meet the level we hope for in 2021,  what we send in will make a difference!

Remember, the kids don’t demand perfection. If you have a bowl of “wonkies” or beads that have some visual imperfections but that are structurally sound and don’t have sharp bead holes, reduction glass on the surface, etc. – the kids would welcome them.

If you would like more information on the Challenge and/or bead requirements, you can read about it here.
