Our Goal, Vision & Commitment
​
This earth was blessed with Eden Elizabeth for just 28 days until she was called to Heaven, but in that too brief time she made such an impact on the world. The grace and strength of Eden and her family has created a legacy that continues to inspire others. Eden's Army still believes in miracles and vows to help miracles happen for
others in need.
Join Us In Creating Little Miracles
​
Eden's Army holds several signature events throughout the year, from the Birthday Bash and Annual Trivia Night to blood drives. Whether you are a trivia aficionado, looking for a kid-focused event or simply into good food, drink and company, there's an event that's just perfect for you. It's a good time AND a good cause.
Volunteer, Participate, or Donate
​
Among other efforts, Eden's Army funds the Beads of Courage Program. It's a resilience-based intervention designed to support and strengthen children and families coping with serious illness. Children tell their story using colorful beads as meaningful symbols of courage that commemorate milestones achieved along their unique treatment path.

We are lucky to have groups in our community choose Eden’s Army for fundraisers. We have benefited from hat days, workout sessions, memorials in honor of a loved one, and simple neighborhood lemonade stands. In addition, we have wonderful people who volunteer at our events as well as those who monetarily donate.
