The Sohn Conference Foundation is dedicated to supporting innovative initiatives to cure and treat pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. 

Each year, 250,000 children are diagnosed with cancer around the world. We are proud to lead the charge in the fight against pediatric cancer by supporting groundbreaking medical research, state-of-the-art technology, and innovative programs to ensure children with cancer survive and thrive. Since 1995, we have raised $80 million to support pediatric cancer research and treatment.

The Foundation honors the memory of Ira Sohn, a talented Wall Street professional whose life was cut short when he lost his battle with cancer at age 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. 

We raise all funds through our renowned Sohn Investment Conferences in New York, Canada, Hong Kong, India, London, San Francisco, Tel Aviv and Zurich, which are recognized as the world’s original and premier investment events. Featuring the best and brightest minds in the industry, the conferences harness the energy and resources of the global financial community to support our mission of ending childhood cancer.
