The power of positive thinking and the memory of an amazing Delaware student-athlete are at the heart of a charity match between a police department and a fire department in DelawaThe power of positive thinking and the memory of an amazing student-athlete come together for a charity match on the ice between police and fire departments in Delaware this weekend.
This is an annual fundraiser in its 10th year between the Wilmington Fire Department and the Wilmington Police Department, which benefits the B+ Foundation. The foundation is named after Andrew McDonough, a Delaware student-athlete who lost his battle with leukemia when he was 14 years old. Joe McDonough, Andrew's father and the president of the foundation, said that, "This game is really by heroes, for heroes. Police and fire departments coming together and benefiting our real B+ heroes, children fighting cancer."
"Started 10 years ago by accident," added Captain Griff Jordan with the Wilmington Fire Department. "A pickup game became a charity game and it's just exploded. For me personally, I love it. One time I skated out there and saw 1,300 fans there in the stands that was pretty cool."
