"I met an angel! She landed here on this earth in 1999 with love for her parents, her brother, the colors pink and purple and her best friend "giraffe".Tattered and handmade from scraps of fabric, she traveled with her everywhere. Hannah was four when she was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. She battled her disease for nearly two years. She wore a pink frilly dress to celebrate her sixth birthday party(B Positiv 2005) and then soon after, in March 2005, Hannah's spirit moved on from this earth. Her parents, brother and friends miss her every day, and have dedicated themselves to fund raising efforts for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society." 100% of the proceeds of this piece went to B Positiv III.

- these words were presented with a painting generously donated to B Positiv III(2007) by Portland area artist Sarah Johnson. from "still life with Giraffe"(with wind on the hill)

event history

B Positiv was an idea which originated in the midst of a mighty storm. During our young daughter's battle with a rare form of Leukemia, our family decided that the best way to thumb our noses at the ugliness of childhood cancer, was through an evening of beauty and of giving as well as a celebration of the spirit of community which had helped our family on it's journey through childhood cancer. Art, wine & music were all donated for our inaugural event on January, 29th 2005, it was a huge success!

Over 35 thousand dollars has been donated, through the first five years of B Positiv, to charitable causes. 100% of all money raised....is ALWAYS donated to charity. B Positiv strives to help families pulled into the ocean of childhood cancer to know......that they are not alone. Please join us in this annual celebration of these brave children.

***Did you know.......

The name B Positiv was chosen because after our daughter' stem cell transplant...her blood type changed from A Positive to B Positive! Not only was this medically “cool”.....but we also felt it was a good rallying cry in difficult times. The date for B Positiv always corresponds with the weekend closest to the anniversary of our Hannah's birthday...1/30/99.

B Positiv – the sixth annual evening of art,wine & music and a special gathering of hope... will be held January 30th, 2010
