Beads of Courage 2011
| Beads of Courage/SWAT 2011 Results | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2011 was the second year for SWAT, Beads of Courage and the Vendors at SWAT to join together to promote this most worthwhile cause. If you’re not familiar with this effort, take a look at the Beads of Courage website at http://www.beadsofcourage.org/. It’s really heartwarming.
This is a project done almost entirely by the SWAT Vendors. It was started in 2010 as the inspiration of the good folks at Woodworld, manager Craig Fyock in particular. The Vendors solicit for the prize fund and do the judging of the entries.This year just about all the results from 2010 were tripled! The number of entries to the competition was over 100. Seventeen Vendors contributed to the prize fund and the dollar value of those contributions was in excess of $1,500.Perhaps most significant is that we believe this was the single largest contribution of boxes in the history of the Beads of Courage program! We’ll try to post some pictures of the kids receiving their boxes as they become available. Thanks to all the SWAT turners who took the time and effort to help these kids! We’ll do it again at SWAT 2012 so get started on those boxes now! Below are the 6 best entries as selected by the Vendor judges followed by a listing of the generous Vendors who made this effort such wonderful success! You can thank them by patronizing their businesses.
