The B+ Blog
Check out our blog to get monthly updates about all things B+ from our President and Co-Founder, Joe McDonough.
You Make it Possible!
As the nation’s (and perhaps world’s) largest provider of financial assistance to families of kids with cancer, it is both humbling and truly awesome when I see the impact of what you enable us to do.
Happy Hanukkah!
To all of our friends who celebrate the holiday, I wish you a Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Holidays
To all of our American supporters, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. (Yes, we have B+ supporters all over the world.)
Our B+ Hero Families Thank You!
You’ve got to read this note from Victoria’s Dad. Her brothers had NEVER been able to meet her…until now….thanks to you!!!
It’s All About the Kids!
As you may recall, The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation is proud to be the major sponsor of an exciting collaboration called “ACCELERATE”.
Your Impact
Please see the note below from a single Mom, military vet who is doing everything she can…but she needed your help.
Busy, Busy, Busy!
Following great visits to the University of Delaware, University of Alabama, and the University of Texas, I headed to Barcelona, Spain last week for the largest, international childhood cancer conference - SIOP.
Travel Season Has Begun
Thank you all for the kind comments on Andrew’s recent birthday. It’s so bittersweet that we got to have 14 amazing birthdays with him and have suffered through 16 without him.
Happy Birthday, Andrew!
September 3, 2022. 30 years sounds like such a long time, but I truly remember September 3, 1992 so vividly. That’s because that day we were introduced to Andrew John McDonough.
Summer Fun for B+ Heroes
About 30 B+ Heroes & family members enjoyed a great day at New Jersey Motorsports Park courtesy of our partner, the DelVal BMW Club.
B+ Summer Leadership Academy…and more!
On July 30-31st, we hosted 35 B+ partners in Wilmington, DE for our annual Summer Leadership Academy.
Celebrating Carly Bergstein
In 2008, the year after Andrew died, I approached University of Delaware Student Life personnel and Greek Presidents about partnering on a dance marathon to fight childhood cancer using the Penn State THON model.
Childhood Cancer Never Takes a Break
Thanks to your support, we recently helped Kree, a brave little 2 year old girl fighting lung cancer. Please see a sweet thank-you note to you from her grandmother.
5k, Crypto, and Grads!
I don’t have the words to describe how great it was to be back in person for our annual B+ 5k run/walk. On Wednesday, June 8th, over 1,000 people participated in the 16th Annual B+ 5k and we were able to raise over $75,000.
16th Annual B+ 5k is HERE!
We’re less than a week away from the 16th Annual B+ 5k. We are BACK to our in-person 5k! Pre-registration ends Monday morning, so register now to save time and money.
Starboard Black Tag & B+ 5k
Thanks to Aaron Dunphy from LowDigittag.com and Monty & Toastie from The Starboard restaurant in Dewey Beach, Delaware, we held our 10th Annual Starboard VIP Black Tag auction for The B+ Foundation.
Back to The Bob
After being kept out of The Bob Carpenter Center for 2 years because of COVID, UDance 2022 returned on April 24th and they returned in great style.
UDance 2022 is HERE!
I hope everyone is enjoying Spring and had a nice time getting together with friends and family for Easter and Passover if you celebrate. It continues to be a busy time here at The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation.
B+ 5k…and so much more!!!
Due to a police staffing issue, we have had to move the date of our 16th Annual B+ 5k up one week to Wednesday, June 8th.
