About the Foundation...
The Terri Neve Foundation was created in memory of Terri Neve who passed away from breast cancer in June 2013. She was a theatre teacher who changed the lives of many students with her craft. In addition, she was an advocate for cancer research and education. She often spoke at support groups and cancer treatment centers to help inspire others who were battling cancer. Our Foundation provides scholarships for High School Seniors and holds fundraisers year round to support cancer research in hopes of finding a cure in the near future.
