B+ 5k Site is LIVE!
As the weather is getting warmer (at least here in DE), it's time to start thinking about one of the biggest (AND BEST) 5k run/walks in Delaware -- the 8th Annual B+ Fighting Childhood Cancer 5k. The registration website is now "live"!It's so easy to join us.
1. Create a team on our website (see link below)
2. Join a team that is already created.
3. Send the email (that we already created for you) to 15-20 friends/family/co-workers. Use the Facebook and Twitter widgets and your personalized fundraising link is automatically embedded in the link. Send out the emails and posting on social media is how we not only raise a LOT of money for families of kids with cancer, but you help us spread a ton of awareness. Think about all the time you waste on FB reading stupid postings. Please take just 30 seconds to invite your friends, near and far, to support you and your team in our B+ 5k.
We actually had a sorority raise over $33,000 in 72 hours just by sending out the emails! It's so simple. Then, if you're around, come out and join us for a fun night on Thurs. June 19th.

Andrew McDonough on Campus at Notre Dame
As many of you know, my son's goal was to play soccer at the University of Notre Dame. While we try to bring The B+ Foundation to every school in the country, bringing a B+ event to Notre Dame is especially personal for me. Andrew should be a senior college this year.
Last week, I traveled to South Bend to speak to campus leaders and several dorms to kick-off our B+ event on campus. On March 26th, the students will be holding a "Gentlemen Auction". I'm really anxious to see how it goes and I hope this will become yet another great ND tradition. I hope Andrew is proud.
Archmere Volley(B+)all Tournament

B+ Hero, Miranda
If you're a regular reader of these updates, you know Miranda Ram-Nolte. Miranda is an amazing young lady who was sent home on hospice and she FIRED her hospice workers. Says something about her attitude, huh? This girl isn't giving up. As a matter of fact, she asked me to write her a letter of recommendation for her to attend my alma mater, the University of Delaware. I was truly honored. In spite of my letter :) Miranda received her acceptance this past week. Congratulations, Miranda. Keep fighting and proving everyone wrong.
The Weather is Getting Nicer....Who Needs a Honda?
If you're in the DE/MD/PA/NJ area, help us raise money by buying a nice Honda from Martin Honda in Newark, DE. During the month of March, Martin will donate $100 to The B+ Foundation for every new car they sell. How can you pass up this deal!!! ;)
Make the most of your week.
