A Special Bag

If you are looking for a craft project for your family, your church, your girl scout troop, your quilters group or just a group of girlfriends that want to do something nice to help children with cancer, I have the perfect idea! Why not make bead bags? Bead bags are an easy project that mean the world to a child with cancer. Bead bags give children a special place to store the beads that they cherish when they are not able to wear them. They also give them a special way to easily carry them back and forth from the hospital or a special keepsake location to store them while they are off enduring difficult tests or procedures.

No minimum commitment needed. You can make 2, 10, 20, 50 or 100. Just make them! I promise you... as you complete a bag and tuck a special note of enCOURAGEment into it, you will get a warm and cozy feeling knowing that you touched the life of a child having a REALLY hard time right now.

Striving for More is really proud of the fact that we brought the Beads of Courage program to the North Carolina Childrens Hospital and we fund their program in its entirety. In addition, although we did bring Beads of Courage to Duke, we also fund their Pediatric Hematology Oncology program as well. We love the Beads of Courage program and are encouraged to hear the wonderful feedback from the children and the families. We believe that this program has enriched the lives of these children and it truly is in line with our mission to deliver quality emotional care to children with cancer and their families.
