#AZGivesDay is TOMORROW and our Beads of Courage members like Katie, can use your support! Remember you don't have to be an Arizona resident to donate! Share your love with these children and don't wait to give, the donation portal is open now.   "Beads of courage gave my daughter, something tangible to show for all she has been through. She is still just as proud of her Beads of Courage today as she was the day she received her first one. Katie could not celebrate this momentous milestone, her senior photos, without celebrating her journey with her Beads of Courage."   Did you know? In the United States, there are 142 Beads of Courage Hematology/Oncology programs supporting children and teens, like Katie. We have over 400 Beads of Courage programs worldwide that help children and teens cope with serious illnesses and challenging medical experiences - all supported by our distribution center here in Tucson, AZ!   Locally in Arizona, we are proud to partner with the following organizations:  Banner Children's at Desert  Banner Children's Banner Thunderbird Medical Center  Banner University Medical Center  The Children's Clinics Diamond Children's Medical Center  HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center Phoenix Children's Hospital  Ryan House  Tucson Medical Center (TMC) Valleywise Health Medical Center  Beads connect us. Love unites us and all the children and teens coping with cancer and serious illnesses. Their Beads of Courage provide hope and healing through troubling times and help them see that their courage exists throughout their struggles.  Your gift today, your love for our cause, helps provide the millions of beads we need to help children and teens here in AZ and across the country feel encouragement and see their courage.  For every $45 donated 1,500 moments of courage will be honored with Beads of Courage.   A gift of $250 will designate you, with our gratitude, as an Aspire Donor with the opportunity to: 1) choose a Beads of Courage Hall of Fame Artist-made bead to feature on our Aspire sculpture in Tucson, AZ 2) add your name or the name of someone you wish to honor on our Aspire plaque, and 3) receive the matching artist-made bead to keep or gift.  Thank you for supporting our mission of hope and healing for courageous kids and teens like Katie and more than 60,000 others we serve.
