The Spenser Somers Foundation was established on November 9, 2000,
exactly ten years to the day that our friend Spenser left this world.
Spenser's life was shortened by Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor
(PNET), a rare form of cancer. He was 18 years old when he died,
yet in that short time Spenser touched many with his wisdom, humor
and spirituality. In honor of his life and of his ever-present spirit,
a group of Spenser's high school classmates started the Spenser
Somers Foundation.
The goal of our Foundation is to raise $1,000,000 to open The Spenser Somers House. This home would be open, free of charge, to all families who need a place to stay while their child is receiving treatment for cancer at local hospitals in Minneapolis, MN.
