This joint fundraiser between SGAA and Beads of Courage, benefiting both non-profit organizations' missions, will feature a bead making marathon at SGAA. Glass artists from across the Southwest will come to support SGAA and Beads of Courage by donating their time, materials, and expertise in creating glass art beads for children with cancer and other serious illness. Each bead created will go directly to children who receive the Beads of Courage Program nationwide.

Please join us for this great event.
