Thank you to Ursuline Academy, Ali’s alma mater, for continuing to honor two brave B+ Heroes, Andrew and Savannah Pauley. The UA swimming, cross country, and volleyball teams wear “B+ SavannahStrong” on their warm-up shirts. Never forgotten.

“Featured Family of the Week”
Ashley is a 15 year old young lady who is battling synovial cell carcinoma, a rare form of cancer. She was diagnosed about a year ago and was scheduled to finish her treatment this month. Unfortunately, during her last appointment, the doctors discovered new cancer on her lungs. As is so often the case with childhood cancer, you feel like you’re making progress one day and then you get kicked in the gut the next day. Our doctors told us to expect days where we would take 2 steps forward and then 3 back. That is very hard to accept.
As if being the parent of a child with cancer doesn’t give you a full enough plate, Ashley’s Mom was holding down TWO jobs trying to make ends meet. Now, though, she had to give up one of the jobs and they are falling behind. Thanks to your generosity, The B+ Foundation is sending Ashley’s Mom a check for approximately $500 to pay their gas and electric bill. We couldn’t do it without you.

The weekend is here.
Live Like Andrew – MAKE MEMORIES!!!
