We’re Here for You Scarlett
B+ Hero Scarlett
“On behalf of my family I would like to thank your foundation for the assistance that you were able to provide for our family. I have sat down several times and tried to write a handwritten note for you but I have failed to complete one. My emotions get the best of me when I put pen to paper. Your foundation does great things helping families like ours. Nothing prepares you for this kind of tragedy in life. My wife and I lost our first born son. Then two years later Scarlett was born same due date and same heart beat at the first ultra sound. She is our rainbow baby and now she is fighting for her life and it’s breaks my heart. Thank you for the grant you were able to give my family. God bless you B+!”
SIOP (International Society of Pediatric Oncology/Societe Internationale d’Oncologie Pédiatrique)
Two weeks ago, Carly Bergstein (B+ Executive Director) and I attended the 2025 SIOP Congress in Amsterdam. SIOP is the largest childhood cancer conference in the world. This year, there were nearly 3,900 “delegates” from 130 countries! It’s an absolutely fantastic organization and conference. Since we were in the area, Carly & I traveled down to Utrecht to visit the Princess Maxima Center, the largest pediatric oncology facility in Europe. The B+ Foundation is proud to have funded several projects at Princess Maxima. Pictured with Carly and me is Dr. Martine van Grotel. If you’re wondering why we are involved with research outside of the US, it is because scientific discovery knows no geographic boundary. I promise you, when you are at your child’s bedside watching your brave little boy or girl fight for his or her life, you just want the best. You don’t care where it was developed.
