David Simon serves as the Chief Investment Officer and Managing Member of Twin Capital Management, LLC. Outside of his work, David Simon supports various charities focused on the common good, including Solving Kids' Cancer.
A New York City-based organization, Solving Kids' Cancer supports research into aggressive childhood cancers. Recently, Solving Kids’ Cancer celebrated the passage of the federal STAR (Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research) Act, which enables the collection of medical specimens of certain youth cancer patients to better understand how to treat the cancers. Specimen collection will be overseen by the National Institutes of Health.
The STAR Act also provides funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to award grants for the purpose of tracking childhood cancers and treatments. Hailing the bill’s passage as the result of a cooperative effort that required years of planning and patience, Solving Kids’ Cancer recognized other groups for their successful lobbying efforts, including the Coalition Against Childhood Cancer and the Alliance for Childhood Cancer.
