About the Ira W. Sohn Investment Research Conference

The Ira W. Sohn Investment Research Conference (http://secure.pnmi.com/irasohnconference/?source=pr1) was founded in 1995 after the untimely passing of Ira Sohn. Sohn was a successful trader on Wall Street who battled cancer and passed away at the young age of 29. His courageous battle with cancer inspired his colleagues and friends to launch the annual Ira W. Sohn Investment Research Conference. All proceeds from the conference are donated to organizations dedicated to the care and treatment of children with pediatric cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. The organizations served include the Tomorrows Children's Fund at Hackensack University Medical Center, New York Presbyterian Hospital / Weill Cornell Medical Center, and ArtWorks, an art therapy program that allows children fighting diseases to express themselves through art. The Foundation also recently announced the winner of the $250,000 Ira Sohn Foundation Prize, awarded for the best idea in pediatric oncology research.
