As you’ll see below, we were in Memphis on Tues. to present a $140,000 research grant to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. 

The weather was perfect, we had a lot of B+ Heroes and Sibling Heroes present, there was a ton of free food (200 pizzas, 750 hot dogs, 200 Chick Fil-A sandwiches, hundreds of soft pretzels, cases of Frito-Lay snacks, and cases of water), nobody got hurt, and I think everyone had a really good time. 

Out of concern for the safety of all of our runners, walkers, AND most especially our B+ Heroes fighting childhood cancers, we feel compelled to postpone this Thursday’s B+ 5k until next Monday, June 25th.

For those of you who have followed our journey from the beginning, you will recall the time that we snuck Andrew out of the hospital one Sunday afternoon so that he could pet his dog, Casey.

Good-bye (for now) Katie Wilson! Katie Wilson started with The B+ Foundation in June, 2010 right out of college.

Because of our loyal supporters, we are able to fund cutting edge childhood cancer research.  This specific research that we co-funded with Solving Kids Cancer, at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, may show promise.
