From President Ray:
PCVRC Partners with The B+ Foundation
The board is pleased to welcome a new charity partner. We’ll be joining forces with the Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation to help promote each other’s goals and activities.
Quite a few members are familiar with B+ (Be Positive) and their annual 5K race (6/21). From their www.BePositive.org website:
“The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation honors the life of 14-year-old Andrew who battled leukemia and sepsis before leaving us on July 14, 2007……The B+ Foundation is about kids helping kids fight cancer — by providing financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer, and by providing childhood cancer research grants.”
PCVRC has previously been partners with TNT (Delaware) and The Wellness Community, and continue to donate to Mike Clark Legacy Foundation.
The club and B+ hope to mutually benefit by publicizing each other, but also supporting each other’s events. We’ll soon be requesting both participants and volunteers for the B+ 5K (and our table at the event). In the meantime, they’ve got a fundraiser this Saturday May 19th:
1st annual The Starboard Restaurant and The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation Fundraiser. Even if you’re unable to attend, check out the eBay auctions for the ultra cool VIP black cards. See
https://www.facebook.com/TheAndrewMcDonoughBePositiveFoundation
Another of their fundraisers is sending a team to The Hamptons Marathon (and Half) on Long Island (9/29). Participants are still welcome and their
members will be joining us at some of our own Wednesday, Thursday & Sunday group runs.
B+ will soon have their own page at www.pcvrc.com or visit their website for more details. We’re very excited about our new partnership!

Last year we started something new by raising money for American Cancer Society/American Cancer Research.Because of your generosities we where able to raise over $1,000. We would like to continue the tradition and have selected the B+ Foundation as the Charity. The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation honors the life of 14-year-old Andrew who battled leukemia and sepsis before leaving us on July 14, 2007. Andrew’s B+ blood type became the perfect message – Be Positive – to reflect how Andrew lived his life and how he inspires others to do the same.The B+ Foundation is about kids helping kids fight cancer — by providing financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer, and by providing childhood cancer research grants. Thanks!
