Howdy, y'all! Beads of Courage is celebrating the Lone Star State's spirit of courage and perseverance with our first-ever state-themed Carry a Bead kit celebrating the great state of Texas.
Meet Texas resident Faith! This brave 7-year-old is National American Miss North Texas Princess and a member of the Beads of Courage cardiac program.
Faith says, "My beads are a reminder that I can do hard things. They are a tool to help me share my story and bring hope to people who may be going through a hard time, too. When you Carry a Bead, you help kids like me be strong and brave."The Texas state beads were exclusively handmade for Beads of Courage by award-winning glass artist Margaret Zinser-Hunt. Carry these unique, handcrafted beads with you on an active adventure, team activity, personal achievement, or just an uplifting day.
Keep one bead for yourself and send one bead back to us with a caring note to encourage a child or teen coping with serious illness. A simple bead goes a long way to strengthen and honor their fight for life.
Only 100 exclusive Texas Carry a Bead kits are available, so get them while you can! They make great stocking stuffers for all your Texas-loving friends, or anyone who wants to be a hero to a child coping with serious illness.
Give Hope. Honor Courage. Carry a Bead!
