Building this supportive environment stretched beyond what the McDonough clan was doing, though.

“On the weekends, we’d have everyone over,” he said.

We’ll tell jokes, tell stories.

Everyone gets to know each other."

McDonough credits the family environment on “BOON” with the successful achievement of this goal.
