Today we honor Andrew McDonough, who passed away 17 years ago today. After his passing his father created the B+ Foundation.

The B+ Foundation was created to fight the war against childhood cancer by funding childhood cancer research and financially supporting families of kids with cancer.

We value the relationship with our national philanthropy, The B+ Foundation, and the effort our undergraduate members make to support the fight against childhood cancer.

We are thrilled to announce the TOP 5 Chapters that raised the most money for the B+ Foundation during the 2023-2024 year!
