Cranes for A Cure is inspired by Joey’s love of origami. Cranes for A Cure’s mission is to fund pediatric cancer research by selling origami crane strings and mobiles, and to provide origami cranes to pediatric cancer patients.
“The crane in China and Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures. Paper cranes are traditionally given as a wedding gift and can also be given to a new baby for long life and good luck. Hanging them in one’s home is thought to be a powerfully lucky and benevolent charm.” Cranes bring hope and uplift spirits.
