Committed to Finding a Cure for Cancer
The H Foundation was created, as all great ideas are, over a cocktail called the Goombay Smash. It started out as a few friends with entrepreneurial spirit that decided they could make a difference in the fight against cancer. So, every summer The H Foundation hosts the Goombay Bash, a fundraising event under the disguise of a casual Caribbean-style party.
Since 2001, The H Foundation has raised over $13 million donating nearly every dollar raised to the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. These funds are used as seed money for basic science cancer research projects to help them compete for additional government or private funding. As a result, our donations have been leveraged into over $280 million of research dollars towards finding a cure.
The H Foundation is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization. 100% of our funding comes from donations by generous businesses, communities, families, individuals, and...from you.
Our Unique Partnership
Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University
Every single dollar The H Foundation donates goes directly into the hands of the doctors, scientists, and students dedicated to finding a cure for cancer.
After meeting with the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University team in early 2002, The H Foundation quickly knew that that was the right place to receive our fundraising proceeds. The Lurie Cancer Center is a perfect match for The H Foundation because not only is the Center highly-rated, but it consists of a team of professionals that is highly dedicated to our cause—curing cancer. The H Foundation continues to be impressed that the Cancer Center works with an integrated “team” approach that combines research, education, and patient care. The Lurie Cancer Center and The H Foundation truly believe that Together, We Can Make a Difference!
The Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University is committed to being a national leader in the battle to overcome cancer. It is one of two NCI (National Cancer Institutes) designated comprehensive cancer centers in Illinois and one of only 71 in the country.
