Rain or Shine, the Fight Continues
17th Annual B+ Golf Outing
The weather was MUCH more cooperative this year as we had a beautiful day and a lot of fun at our B+ Golf Outing. Thanks to all of our sponsors and guests, we grossed over $110,000!!! A lot of very deserving families will be assisted thanks to this event.
SIOP Congress
SIOP stands for the Societe Internationale d’Oncologie Pediatrique, an international organization of pediatric researchers, doctors, nurses, and families impacted by childhood cancer across the world. Last week, Carly Bergstein and I got the opportunity to represent The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation at the conference in Ottawa. We were among 2,100 ‘delegates’ from 112 countries. Many of the sessions were fascinating.
Schools
The University of Delaware students did not let last Saturday’s nasty weather dampen their spirits as they held FTKickoff (FTK stands for “For the Kids”) for our B+ Hero Families. It was great - and surprising - to see how many families braved the weather!
Thank you to NYU students for packing the house to learn about The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation and NYDM, our dance marathon on campus. The audience in this picture were new sorority and fraternity members.
B+ Hero Family Message to You
Hope your week is off to a good start. Did you know that 46 families started their day today not knowing that their child will be diagnosed with cancer by the end of today?
