B+ Hero, Marco
B+ Hero Marco took the microphone at last Friday's B+ Dance Marathon at Fordham University in NYC and said, "Hi, I'm Marco. I have cancer, but I still like to party, so let's party!"
I wish you all could meet this kid. He's SO funny. He plays a mean game of "Duck, Duck, Goose"!
Congratulations to all the students at Fordham for a really successful event. The Fordham students raised over $30,000, had a great time, and I believe, experienced a life-changing event.
SO proud of my grad school alma mater!!!
Deerfield Dash & Drive - Sunday May 18th
THIS is a funny event and I'm thrilled that Deerfield Golf Club and Fusion Timing have decided to help us fight childhood cancer.
The Deerfield Dash & Drive is actually three events -- a 4+ mile run ON the golf course in the morning, an 18 hole round of golf in the afternoon, and then a dinner/auction. You can participate in either event or both...or just join us for the dinner/auction. If you participate in both, you get extra advantages (i.e. teeing off from forward tees, etc.) on the golf course. The Dash begins at 8:30am and registration includes:
- Entry into the Golf Course Run (over four miles in all)
- A custom Dash & Drive 2014 Tee Shirt
- An oval decal with 6,323 (the number of yards the golf course plays)
- A Dash & Drive 2014 runners medal for Select Gender/Age Division Winners
- Post-run Refreshments
The golf 'tournament' begins at 12:30pm and includes:
- Entry into this Four Person Scramble & Cart
- A custom Dash & Drive 2014 Tee Shirt
- Practice Range Access prior to play
- Delicious Lunch Upon Arrival
- Unlimited Soda, Sport Drink, Water and Domestic Beer On-Course
- Flavorful Dinner Buffet following play
- Auction, Prizes, Games, On-Course Contests & More!
At 5:30, there will be a dinner/auction open to anyone - whether you ran, golfed, or did neither. The registration prices for all three events is very reasonable.
I like the creativity of Jeff Robinson (Deerfield) and Nic DeCaire (Fusion) and appreciate their interest in joining our cause. Please join us for a fun day. Spread the word.
Thank You West Chester University
Thank you to Kappa Delta Rho fraternity at West Chester University (PA) for organizing three days of activities to help The B+ Foundation fight childhood cancer. Thank you, also, for inviting me to campus to speak to you and your fellow students. It was special for me when one of the students in the group raised in her hand and said she personally knew my son. I can't really describe it, but it was really comforting. Sadly, I realize that speaking to students who actually knew my son won't last much longer.
If you're dealing with snow and cold, keep this thought in mind --- pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in 3 days! I feel warmer already! :)
