Super Busy Week!
Norah, I hope you have the long hair you desire soon, but in the meantime, you are ROCKING the head scarf!!!
SO Much Going On!
This week was a slightly light week as we ONLY gave out $100,000 in financial assistance to families of kids with cancer.
You Lift Them Up
Here’s a nice note for you from Cris’ Mom. It means so much to our families to know that people out there care about them.
Something for Everyone
I hope everyone had a nice Easter, Passover, or Ramadan. In today’s update, there truly is something for everyone.
Kids Helping Kids Fight Cancer!
In the past week, we had an overnight (9pm-5am) dance marathon at the Charter School of Wilmington and the students set a new record by raising $100,777.83!!!
NOVAdance 2023 & Andrew Most Influential List
Congrats to the students of Villanova University for exceeding last year’s fundraising total and raising $505,311.35 for NOVAdance 2023!!!
This is the Busy Season
After an unexpected stay in the hospital for a few days last week, I was back on the road.
Join Us in DC
Every year, under the leadership of two collaborative childhood cancer groups that The B+ Foundation is a part of (Alliance for Childhood Cancer, Coalition Against Childhood Cancer), we head to Washington, DC to meet our federally-elected officials to give a voice to our brave kids fighting childhood cancer.
B+ Around the World!
Yesterday, I took a day trip out to LA for LMU’s Lip Sync competition benefiting LMUDM and The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation.
A Colossal Win
Thanks to our partners, Colossal and DTCare, The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation is the charity beneficiary of a few online voting contests.
Breaking Records!!!
I was stunned yesterday when we wrote out 176 checks for $192,000 of assistance for families of kids with cancer nationwide!!!
AmazonSmile Ends
I’m sad to report that Amazon has decided to end their AmazonSmile program. It was a great way to raise easy money for charities.
Meet My Bosses
When I left JPMorgan Chase to start The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation, someone said to me “It must be nice to not have bosses!”
Celebrating a Record-Breaking Year!
I hope you all enjoyed your holidays and cherished the precious time that you got to spend with loved ones. I hope and pray for great discoveries of better treatments (or even cures) of childhood cancers in 2023.
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.)
