Joining Andrew’s Army

When Andrew Accardi died on October 31, legions of family members, friends and teammates mourned.

The 20-year-old Villanova University finance and marketing major — and 4-year golfer at Staples — lost his 15-year battle with neuorblastoma, a brutal childhood cancer.

Over several years — led by Andrew — a group called Andrew’s Army raised over $350,000 for neuroblastoma research at Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia, where he was treated so well. The money has aided breakthroughs in fighting the deadly disease.

Now — despite losing their leader — Andrew’s Army has pledged to do more.

During the coming months, they’ll organize a series of fundraisers for neuroblastoma and other pediatric cancers.

This morning, Andrew’s Army launched a Facebook page. In its first 8 hours, it earned over 800 likes.

The page is the first step toward gathering an online following. That will make it easy to spread the word about upcoming events.
