Founded in memory of Andrew McDonough, a young boy who passed away from leukemia, the foundation provides financial assistance to families of children with cancer and supports research efforts aimed at finding a cure. The B+ Foundation also emphasizes the importance of staying positive after identifying Andrew’s blood type B+ and encourages individuals and communities to get involved in fundraising and awareness campaigns to support childhood cancer.
