Emotional Weekend
It was a VERY busy and emotional weekend! On Saturday, the students of New York University turned out for NYDM and on Sunday, our flagship event at the University of Delaware was a huge success!
You Are “the Good in the World”
PLEASE take a minute to read this notes from Harry’s & Arleen’s families. Your financial support is SO much more than just paying a bill.
Peter & Amelia
Please take a minute to read Peter’s story. I’m glad that we not only were able to help lessen the financial burden, but equally importantly, we are providing much needed psychosocial support through our B+ Heroes Program.
Summer is Here!
Do you love Dewey Beach, Delaware, and The Starboard Restaurant? The online auction closes TOMORROW (Saturday May 18th).
It Takes a Village
A family of a child with cancer is NOT homeless BECAUSE OF YOU!!! Please read the nice note from Sebastian’s Mom.
Super Busy Week!
Norah, I hope you have the long hair you desire soon, but in the meantime, you are ROCKING the head scarf!!!
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.
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.
Nice Guys Can Finish First
Congratulations to B+ Ambassador Troy Reeder for becoming a World Champion as a member of the Los Angeles Rams!
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.
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.
Christian & Victoria
For 9 years, through the hard work of super-supporter Aaron Dunphy and the generosity of the mega-popular Dewey Beach, DE bar/restaurant, The Starboard, we have been the exclusive beneficiary of The Starboard B+ Black Tag Auction.
Meet a B+ Hero Family
Let me introduce you to a B+ Hero Family. Adley is a 3 year old girl with a 4 year old big sister, Tenley. Tenley has been battling Leukemia and she had a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT).
Nothing is Stopping Us!
There was a great article in Women’s Health magazine this week about the masks that doctors wear when they’re off the clock. CHECK IT OUT…and make sure you see the #1 mask listed!
Holidays in the Childhood Cancer World
It's been a busy month of December! Thank you all for kicking the month off so strongly with #GivingTuesday. We raised almost $100,000! That money is very much needed and goes out the door very fast.
Counting our Blessings
During this week of Thanksgiving, I'm tremendously thankful that most of our children survive cancer. This is largely due to the commitment and investment in research that has dramatically increased survival rates.
Remembering Troy
Yesterday we celebrated the life of Troy Haynes, Jr. Troy reminded me a lot of my son, Andrew.
