The Bpositiv Foundation for Children with Cancer, Inc. was officially established in January 2010 by the Pite family in loving memory of their daughter Hannah Shayne Pite. Previously, after five successful years of raising awareness of childhood cancer and funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the Pite's took steps to make Bpositiv an offical 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  The name Bpositiv is used because, after Hannah’s stem cell transplant, her blood type changed from A-positive to B-positive. The Pite family also thinks "be positive" can be a good reminder in extremely difficult times.

The Board of Directors was formed in December 2009 in anticipation of the Foundation's establishment. In January 2010, Daniel Pite was installed as the foundation's first executive director.  The Officers were appointed shortly thereafter and currently serve two year terms.
All members of the board are volunteers.
