Default 2024 programme?
Are Beads of Courage still going in the USA? I’m in Australia, and beadmakers here are disappearing fast. Any suggestions for encouraging new donors? All ideas appreciated.
Thank you.

BOC is still very active in the US. Is the Australian organization run by the same one as the US? I think the challenges to make XX number of beads to donate has been successful here. I saw several people working to make and donate 1,000 beads in a year.

Is it sourcing materials, or lack of time or interest maybe? I see the Australian version is Camp Quality. I hope they can find a way to entice people to join. Watching a video about BOC on a Sunday morning news show is what got me to learn, maybe some news coverage there would draw interest?
