    2026 Beads of Courage

    Annual Snowflake Kit Fundraiser

    Deadline to Order Kit: November 30th

     


     Bead along with us again this year to raise funds for


     Beads of  Courage!

     The 2026 project is another beautiful snowflake ornament  designed by Nicki Russo of Madison Made Jewelry.

     Proceeds benefit children coping with serious illness as they  use beads to record and describe their courageous healing  journey.


     The snowflake kit price is $10 while supplies last

     (add $3  s/h per kit for online mail orders.)

     When kits are sold out, you can purchase the supply list and  instructions for only $5.

     "Register" to buy your kit for in-person pick-up or mailing.

     Instructions are emailed to all who purchase. 

     To purchase more than one kit, scroll down on the  "Registration" page; at the bottom is a "Guest" box; enter  the additional number of kits you would like to purchase.  

     The total number of kits is shown at the top of the page.

     Contact Johanna Zitto to make pick-up arrangements or if    you have questions.
