About the Fund:
The Simon Sharp Eagle Fund was established to honor a remarkable life while raising money for worthy causes.
Created in 2008, the fund's inaugural event—Chefs and the City—benefits the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and the Boy Scouts of America—Andrew Jackson Council.
These two organizations based in Jackson, Mississippi played meaningful roles in the life of Simon Sharp, a 15-year-old Boy Scout whose courageous 15-month battle against leukemia ended the day after he became an Eagle Scout.
