Check out our blog to get monthly updates about all things B+ from our President and Co-Founder, Joe McDonough.
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.
$180,514.22 in One Week!
Just today, for this week’s review of applications, I wrote out checks for $180,514.22 to ease the burden on families of kids with cancer, give them the best chance to survive, and show them that someone cares.
You Make it Possible!
I probably don’t share as many of the B+ Hero family thank-yous as I should. As you start your weekend, please take a moment to appreciate this one from a hardworking family just like you.
A Lifesaving Experience - LITERALLY!
Allow me to introduce you to 5 year-old, Davi. At Davi’s local hospital, he was told that his cancerous tumor was inoperable and terminal.
Nice Guys Can Finish First
Congratulations to B+ Ambassador Troy Reeder for becoming a World Champion as a member of the Los Angeles Rams!
15 YEARS!!!
Fifteen years ago this past Saturday, our horrible journey started. I woke up on January 29, 2007 with a son who was a little ‘under the weather’.
Meet Two of My Bosses
Joshua is a 3-year-old boy who was diagnosed with Leukemia in September of this year. Joshua’s mother is still in high school.
Remembering Christian!
Just before Thanksgiving, I lost another friend. B+ Hero Christian Malmgren was a truly bright light. When he walked into a room, EVERYONE knew it.
B+ On Fire!!!
Last Friday, I had the honor of representing The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation at Sigma Chi “Fight Night” at the University of Texas.
Goosebumps!
I’m almost at a loss for words to describe my emotions when my friend, B+ Hero Danny Feltwell, came to my office with a surprise.
A Lot Going On in B+ Nation!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 15th Annual B+ Golf Outing on October 4th at the DuPont Country Club.
