Villanova University's fundraising effort benefiting The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation to fight childhood cancer

关于我们

NOVAdance is Villanova University's 12-hour philanthropic dance marathon that unifies the entire Villanova community to fight pediatric cancer. Our mission is to support the Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation who provides support for families with children afflicted with childhood cancer across the nation as well as funds medical research. Students spend the academic year raising awareness and funds in the fight against childhood cancer, while hosting outreach events and forming connections with kids, who are our B+ Heroes, and their families. Why support NOVAdance? ? 46 children are diagnosed with cancer every school day. ? 2,300 children & teenagers will die each year from childhood cancer ? Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States, 1 to 14 years of age. ? The incidence of childhood cancer is up 29% in 20 years. ? Childhood cancer survivor rates in the U.S. have increased from less than 20% in the 1960's to almost 80% today - we hope someday we can make it 100%. ? The average age of death for a child with cancer is 8, causing a child to lose 69 years of expected life. ? Cancer occurs regularly, randomly and spares no ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region. ? Only one new cancer drug has been approved for childhood cancer treatment in the past 20 years. ? Treatment leaves 60% of survivors with long-term health issues, from organ damage to high risk of secondary cancer. See Less

    After dancing 12 hours straight this Saturday, NOVAdance broke its fundraising record by raising $601,507.81 to fight childhood cancer. Thank you to The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation for allowing us to be part of this cause, none of this would have been possible without B+! Let's give special recognition to NOVAdance Committee, Engagement Coordinators, Morale Committee, Sidekicks, other dancers, and all our donaters for turning dreams into reality. It's experiences like these that truly embody what it means to Be Positive. ?? ?? #bepositive #childhoodcancer #NOVAdance

    Happy #GivingTuesday! Did you know that every school day in our country 46 children are diagnosed with cancer, and every week 49 children lose their chance to grow up? That’s why I joined NOVAdance to make a difference, as we partner with the #1 provider of financial assistance to families of kids with cancer in the country, The Andrew McDonough B+ (Be Positive) Foundation. Today, will you consider joining the millions worldwide who will participate in this international day of giving by supporting my fundraising efforts? The money raised will allow the foundation to provide hope and financial assistance to families of children battling cancer and fund new, child-specific cancer research. You never know what donation could help a family pay for medication insurance won’t cover and save a life, or push us over the research tipping point and change the landscape of childhood cancer forever.??
