Everett Says Let’s Go UDance!
Please read about what this cute little boy has gone through in his very short life. If this doesn’t give us perspective, I don’t know what will.
You’re Making a Difference!
You’ve got to watch Landon’s video! YOUR support is helping this paralyzed child avoid pressure sores! Hear it from my boss himself.
Thank You Students!
“First I want to send my condolences. I am truly sorry. I can only imagine. I wanted to send a huge thank you! This helps so much and we are very grateful! Having to worry about bills during this difficult time is added stress that I wish no parent has to deal with, so any kind of help is a blessing!

Spreading the Word

Impatient for Progress
I am literally in the air right now on my way back home from Brussels.

Messages from My Bosses
Please meet B+ Heroes Tessa, Kaison, & Roya. I’ll let their parents - and their beautiful smiles - do all the talking.
Giving Back
You all know that we give millions of dollars to help families pay their bills. Well, occasionally, we receive donations from those very families after their child’s treatment is over.
Message from Dalton
Hear directly from a 15-year-old about what he’s been through. It will make you think differently about your problems.
Where to Turn?
Thank you for the nice, encouraging comments about my last post about our investment in research.
B+ Research Grants Announced
While it warms my heart to read the letters from the B+ Hero Families that we assist, I have to admit that I get REALLY excited by the research that we help fund.
GIVING TUESDAY!
We cannot help these courageous and innocent kids without your help. Every school day, 46 kids are diagnosed with cancer…AND NOT ONE DID ANYTHING TO DESERVE IT!
