Check out our blog to get monthly updates about all things B+ from our President and Co-Founder, Joe McDonough.
Addy & Action Days
Last week, I traveled to DC for an Alliance for Childhood Cancer meeting. The Alliance is a small (~25 groups) collection of professional groups (I.e. American Academy of Pediatrics)and Advocates (I.e. American Cancer Society, B+) with a focus on federal legislation advocacy.
“Our World Stopped…”
Powerful words from Addie’s family. You never think it’s going to happen to you. I know I didn’t.
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Last Saturday night, I had the privilege of being on the field at Citizen’s Bank Park with my family as we helped to hold a huge gold ribbon in the outfield in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Andrew’s Birthday
Last Wednesday was Andrew’s 33rd birthday. Thank you to everyone who posted nice notes and donated to the Andrew’s Birthday campaign.
These Are More Than Checks
I want you to see what you enable us to do. The picture below is one week’s worth of Family Assistance Program checks.
Tee It Up for the Kids
I like posting pictures with the notes from the families so that you can literally see who you’re helping. In this case, even though we haven’t received a picture yet, I thought the note was too powerful not to share.
High Cute Factor
If Kavani’s picture doesn’t make you smile, there’s a problem! Start every day looking at this beautiful child.
The Saddest Day of the Year!
I can’t believe it’s been 18 years, Andrew. I miss you every day. It’s a dimmer world without you physically here. I love you, Andrew!
Meet Two of My Bosses
I would like to take a minute to express my appreciation to all of you who wrote such nice comments in response to my induction into the University of Delaware Alumni Wall of Fame. Your comments mean a lot to me!

Proud Blue Hen!
On June 6th, I had the tremendous honor of being inducted into the University of Delaware Alumni Wall of Fame! I am so humbled and appreciative of this recognition. Thank you University of Delaware and UD Alumni Association.
Can You Help Aubree?
“Dear Be Positive,
My family and I thank you from the bottom of our heart for the generous donation! We are so grateful as it helps us tremendously. To say that the past year in a half has been difficult would be an understatement. Our beautiful daughter Aubree just turned 1 year old and she was diagnosed at only 5 weeks old. She is a beautiful blessing, and so full of happiness and joy! She is truly the light in our life! We deeply appreciate what you have done for us!”
Powerful Words!
Hello, my name is Gisela.
My daughter Arianny was diagnosed with leukemia on 1/29. As you could imagine, our world was turned upside down when we heard the words.
