NY Childhood Cancer Summit

During the NY Childhood Cancer Summit, we will have Tribute Beads available for free for attendees.

Tribute Beads are beaded necklaces that act as a simple way to share a part of your story, if you choose.  They are completely optional. Wearing them may help you connect with others at the Summit who share a similar journey, helping you to find your people… and perhaps a bit of Comfort & Hope.
