Super Bowl Champion, Troy Reeder
We are very honored that, once again this year, B+ Ambassdor, Troy Reeder, wore specially designed B+ cleats recently during the NFL’s “My Cause, My Cleats” campaign. While a few years younger, Troy is a Salesian brother of Andrew’s. Please watch this great video from Troy and the LA Chargers.

“Face of Horror”
This Fall, we were privileged to be the charity partner of the “Face of Horror” contest. Curious as to what the “Face of Horror” contest was? :)
There are millions of horror movie fans all over the world. Hundreds of thousands of them participated in this year’s contest. The winner received $13,000, a walk-on role in an independent film, a 2-night stay at Buffalo Bill’s House, the iconic location from Silence of the Lambs, and a photoshoot with horror legend Kane Hodder for Rue Morgue Magazine! Very COOL prizes!!!
Ready for the best part?
As the “Face of Horror” charity partner, we have received nearly a MILLION dollars and the final tally hasn’t been completed. We are SO thankful to the organizers for including us. While a fun contest, the true impact will be that roughly 1,000 families with a child with cancer will have their financial burdened lessened while their precious child fights for his or her life! Thank you to everyone who supported this contest.

A message from B+ Hero Wyatt’s Mom:
“Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. It brought me to tears and I am so sorry for your great loss… what you're doing to help other families is amazing. Childhood cancer is so evil. I want to thank you for the prayers for my son. But I really want you to know how much this grant helped us. You know all too well the stress cancer life causes... for many reasons. The last thing I want to worry about is whether we will be able to pay our bills or not. I want to be present and happy for my kids. This grant helped us pay our rent ... it took that stress off of our shoulders and it means even more coming from a foundation who truly wants to help families like ours. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I promise to share Be Positive with others and let them know what you have done for our family. I pray for your heart. This is such a great way to give back to the cancer community.”
Thanks for making this assistance possible.
