The Foundation honors the memory of Ira Sohn, a talented Wall Street professional whose life was cut short when he passed away from cancer at the age of 29. In 1995, Ira's colleagues and friends Douglas Hirsch, Lance Laifer and Daniel Nir, along with Ira's mother Judith Sohn and brother Evan, created the Ira Sohn Research Conference, now called The Sohn Investment Conference.
The Sohn Conference Foundation is dedicated to the treatment and cure of pediatric cancer. The Foundation supports cutting-edge medical research, state-of-the-art research equipment, and innovative programs to ensure children with cancer survive and thrive.
