Beads of Courage Fundraiser

Beads Inspired Salisbury 2013. This event is sponsored by Hill Street Productions and Millennium Microwave Corporation. All proceeds from this event will benefit The Beads of Courage program. The evening will be a celebration of the courage of the children in the program and all those with serious illnesses.  

 

When: June 1, 2013 6:30 PM

 

Where: The Holiday Inn-River's Edge, Salisbury MD

 

Beneficiary:

 

The Beads of Courage program was founded in 2004 and is a support program for children with serious illnesses. Their mission is to help children and families coping with serious illnesses record, tell and own their story of courage.

Children who participate in the program receive colored beads that represent milestones, procedures, and acts of bravery. For instance, they get a yellow bead for an overnight hospital stay, a white one for chemotherapy, and a glow-in-the-dark bead for radiation treatment. It's not uncommon for children to amass 10, 20 -- even 35 -- feet of beads. It helps young patients track and celebrate their progress, but it also gives them a way to get through upcoming procedures.

Today the nonprofit organization supports children in more than 150 hospitals in the United States and four overseas countries. It is funded exclusively by private donations. Local hospitals that participate in The Beads of Courage program include Johns Hopkins, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Ai DuPont.
