Sent 90 beads in yesterday - mostly the slightly not ready for primetime stuff I had kicking around, along with a few "I'm tired of seeing these in my inventory" beads. As soon as my studio's set up, I'm going to make some fun beads to send.

I make most of my beads on 1/16 mandrels. Is that too small of a hole size? If not I think I have quite a few beads to send. If it is I'll need to make some on bigger mandrels.
Was this answered someplace? I'm going through beads today and have a lot of them made on 1/16 mandrels.....
Can you use them?

Ah. Never mind. Found this in the other thread that I probably should have read.

"No, you don't need to wire wrap the 1/16 beads. the strand material that we use will fit nicely in that size hole. The 3/32 is a little easier to string, but it's OK to send the 1/16 without any wire wrapping."

Came across BOC in Google search and was surprised that beads, marbles, earrings, pendents being Sold. This surprised me. I thought all the beads were given to the children.

We have a section where artists can sell their work and share the proceeds with Beads of Courage. This lets us help support the artists who have done so much to support us. The commission going to BoC helps us keep the lights on.

Thank you for informing me on how this works. After I wrote what I did, I thought about it, and decided that had to be it.

I wish there was a Beads of Courage for CHILA Childrens hospital of California, I know this for a fact because my grandson was there for 6 month having Chemo therapy for cancer. How can we get one started there?

Hi Marilyn.

These beads aren't taken from the beads that artists send in for donation to the kids. The Beads of Courage Artist Gallery is separate from those! Oh my...I should go update that and make it clear.

Artists contract with Beads of Courage to sell specific beads that they send in.

It is also Beads of Courage's way to give back to the artists who are so generous with their bead donations throughout the year by providing a venue to sell their work and raise awareness for the arts.

Teena...

Email Colin SMith, the program director. Perhaps you can help make a contact and open the door at CHILA.

in addition, we have an at a distance program for children in treatment who dont' receive BOC at their hospital. You can ask her about that too.
