Our MissionTo provide innovative, arts-in-medicine programs for children and teens coping with serious illness, their families, and the clinicians who care for them.Beads of Courage, Inc. is an approved public charity under I.R.S. Code Section 501(c)(3), based in Tucson, Arizona.Our HistoryJean Gribbon, developed the first Beads of Courage, Inc. program while working on her PhD in Nursing at the University of Arizona, College of Nursing. Her inspiration came from her clinical practice, and from her experiences as a camp nurse at one of Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camps. With the financial support of her family and friends, Jean developed and piloted the Beads of Courage Program at Phoenix Children's Hospital in February 2002. Since then, Beads of Courage has provided arts-in-medicine programs for over 60,000 children and their families coping with serious illness in more than 240 children's hospitals throughout the world.
