Hi I am just learning about beads of courage. two friends both have had their 3 year olds diagnosed with acute leukemia and are in the battles of their lives. I just saw pics of one of them stringing the beads and his mom told us what each one represents.......this has totally motivated me to donate my beads....how and where do I go?

BeadsofCourage.org
has a form to print out & send in with your beads, and the address is on the form.
There are some guidelines posted here, and they are on the artists page at BOC too. 3/32nd mandrels for ease of stringing, nice holes, no sharp edges or fragile areas sticking out, etc. as well as no metallic/silver glass unless it is encased are a few of the guidelines, but there is more information here in one of the sticky posts.
And welcome to the BOC family. It is a really good feeling to stick a box in the mail knowing that it will put smiles on kids faces to see those beads.
