We are proud to announce the formation of the Henry Schueler 41&9 Foundation. The Foundation has been issued Not for Profit status as a charitable organization. It is dedicated to honor the memory of Henry and to perpetuate his legacy from his unfinished life.

Our goal is to provide funding toward innovative, leading edge research in the field of pediatric high risk leukemia and the fungal infections children are at risk for contracting while their bodies immune systems are compromised during chemotherapy treatment. Currently, we are considering funding a research project directed at fighting zygomycosis which is the fungal infection that eventually claimed Hank's life. Researchers need to understand and develop new techniques and approaches involved in the treatment of this infection in order to improve outcomes for immuno compromised patients. In doing so, we will save future -Henry's- and their families from the same suffering we experienced.

As a secondary goal, we will endow a scholarship in Henry's name at St. Patrick's High School to be awarded annually to a student-athlete who best exemplifies Hank's enthusiasm for life, athletic competition and academic excellence.
