With your support, we help children and teens coping with serious illness stay encouraged during their treatment journey. Your pet can be an amazing companion to their courage!
What you receive:
- Custom Beads of Courage Carry a Bead kit. Each Carry a Bead kit includes two handmade glass beads and our Exclusive Team Beads of Courage Charm.
Your pet can wear this kit during any fun activity - a walk, hike, family vacation, day at the beach - you name it. You and your pet keep one of the two beads and the charm to symbolize your COURAGE to CARE for a child or teen coping with serious illness. You'll send the second bead back to Beads of Courage along with a completed Story Card explaining what fun the bead and pet had during their adventure. Beads of Courage then sends the bead and Story Card on to one of the 300+ hospitals worldwide that offer Beads of Courage programs. The bead your pet has worn will be given to a young patient during a day when they need a little boost. The unconditional love your pet gives will make its way around the world to whoever needs it most.
Carry a Bead is a wonderful program that helps Beads of Courage members connect to people and pets who want to support them in unique and meaningful ways.
Orange Paws is proud to partner with Beads of Courage in offering this particular Carry a Bead: Pet Edition kit.
If you have questions on how the "Carry a Bead" program works or how you can help support the mission of Beads of Courage, please email Jacob Carter at jacob@orangepaws.com
Otherwise, consider purchasing this kit and having your pet wear the beads - then follow the instructions! Doing so will help raise funds for Beads of Courage, and you'll be providing program materials for hospitals offering their programs. Plus, it's just an awesome way to have YOUR PET bring a smile to a child or teen in the hospital, sometimes half a world away!
