THE STORY BEHIND THE FOUNDATION
A legacy that opens doors.
The Simon Cancer Foundation honors the memory of Harvey Simon by supporting education, opportunity, and people whose lives have been affected by cancer.
Why we exist
A cancer diagnosis affects more than a person’s health. It can interrupt plans, change priorities, and create uncertainty about the future. The foundation exists to help make what comes next possible.
Remembering Harvey Simon
The foundation was established in memory of Harvey Simon. His experience with cancer inspired a lasting commitment to helping patients and survivors continue their education and pursue their aspirations. Our work honors that legacy with practical support and respect for each person’s individual path.
What we believe
Beyond the diagnosis
No one should be defined solely by an illness. We recognize each individual’s ambition, character, talents, and hopes for the future.
Opportunity matters
Scholarships and educational support can make an important difference as students work toward what comes next.
How that belief becomes action
Through the Harvey Simon Memorial Scholarship, the foundation awards educational scholarships to eligible students attending four-year colleges and graduate programs. We celebrate their goals, their achievements, and the futures they are building beyond a cancer diagnosis.
