Congratulations, Ali! — 2012 Delaware Governor’s Outstanding Volunteer Award
We traveled to the state capital tonight for the presentation of The 2012 Governor’s Outstanding Volunteer Awards. Ali was selected as one of the winners this evening and we are, of course, very proud of her. It goes without saying that she experienced a great tragedy when her brother died in her arms when she was 16. But, the way she is responding to this terrible adversity is so very impressive. Thank you, Katie Wilson, for nominating Ali for this award and thank you, Gov. & Mrs. Markell for the kind words about Ali this evening. And, thank you for letting me brag about my little girl!

Corporate-Run Employee Giving Campaign Season
Thank you to Kathy Davis and WL Gore (Elkton, MD site) for inviting me to come in and introduce you all to The B+ Foundation and our mission to fight childhood cancers.
This is the time of year when many companies do their annual employee giving campaigns and I can’t tell you how much we rely on these for support. Whether your company participates in United Way (like DuPont, Astra Zeneca, Gore, Barclays and many others) or runs their own campaigns (like JPMorgan Chase, Allstate, and others), please keep us in mind when you’re filling out your pledge. We GREATLY appreciate your support.
United Way of Delaware — 11776
United Way of Southeastern PA — 47481
We have flyers available on the homepage of www.BePositive.org that you can share with your co-workers either by forwarding the link or printing out the flyer. If you participate in a United Way campaign and would like to know if there’s a B+ ‘write-in’ number, just email me at Joe@LiveLikeAndrew.org. Many UW chapters only require that you enter in our name. If you need our tax id #, it’s 42-1741037. Thanks so much for your generosity!
