Fund Raising BIG IDEA:
The HOPE Bracelet Project

HOPE Bracelets 2004 Raise $100,000 for
Project Mercy in Ethiopia

WOWOWOWOW! Year two of Betsy's volunteer HOPE Bracelet Project is an amazing success drawing $65,000 of donations of silver beads, supplies and handmade lampwork glass beads which created 1000 bracelets. The volunteers traveled to Africa in early October to bring the final supplies to the craftsmen and to help add the new HOPE 2004 commemorative clasps and specially designed silver beads. HOPE Bracelets went on sale November 12th in Denver, Colorado and SOLD OUT January 1, 2005, raising $100,000!!

Betsy’s BIG IDEA was that the bead community could each donate a small part of their “gifts” by donating beads, silver and jewelry supplies. Betsy serves as the volunteer project “Mother” in charge of the marketing and overall project organization.
