The mission of the Heroes Foundation is to provide meaningful support to cancer patients, education to promote cancer prevention and resources to advance research for a cure. The foundation has been a consistent and enthusiastic supporter of the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center since 2002 and has cumulatively given more than $1 million to support cancer research at IU. The Heroes Foundation has supported a variety of special projects and programs over the years. Annually, it funds pediatric cancer research via the Team Joey initiative, and it has funded a clinical research scholar at IU through the SJP Endowed Research Fund since 2007. In addition to philanthropic support, Vince and Cindy Todd, who launched the foundation in 2001, are active members of the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center Development Board.
