From the time of his diagnosis in April 2013 until his ultimate passing in October 2015, Rob Zimmerer bravely fought colon cancer with grace and dignity.  The way Rob lived his life and how he fought this horrible disease touched so many lives of his family, friends and acquaintances.  Rob taught all of us to treasure the good things we have in life, to accept the challenges that confront us, to face adversity with courage and most importantly to never give up. 

The Friends of Robbie Foundation is structured around the principle that “No one fights alone”  When it comes to cancer, the Foundation is devoted to assisting individuals and families faced with the challenges that fighting this awful disease presents.  We are committed to aid families in our community who are confronting acute financial need due to disease, tragedy, or hardship. The Foundation is also dedicated to assist young men and women in pursuing their academic and career goals through donations and scholarships.  By accomplishing these goals, The Friends of Robbie Foundation will perpetuate Rob’s legacy while positively influencing the lives of others.
