NYDM takes immense pride in its efforts to raise funds for the Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation.

The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation honors the life and legacy of Andrew McDonough, an athlete and ‘A’ student who battled leukemia, septic shock and complications of childhood cancer for 167 days. He passed away on July 14, 2007, at the age of 14. The foundation was born as a result of his battle and Andrew’s B+ blood type became his family and friends’ motto throughout his fight against childhood cancer — to “Be Positive.”

Today, the Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation stands as a prominent 501(c)3 certified nonprofit organization. Its mission encompasses extending financial and emotional aid to families with children impacted by cancer nationwide, alongside funding pivotal and innovative childhood cancer research.
