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.
