2019 NOVAdance dance marathon fundraising reveal.
For nearly a decade, NOVAdance has packed the Jake Nevin
Field House on Villanova University s campus for a 12-hour dance marathon a student-led effort to raise money
for pediatric cancer. But how does such a high-spirited dance marathon survive
a pandemic?
This year, NOVAdance was able to pivot its fundraising and awareness efforts to continue its commitment and dedication to raising money in support of the B+ Foundation and its mission. The B+ Foundation honors Andrew McDonough, who passed away from leukemia at 14. His B+ blood type inspired the name of the foundation, pronounced ‘Be Positive,’ which works diligently to end pediatric cancer and support impacted children and their families.
