A Tribute to Stefanie Spielman: 'Truly a Champion' The following are statements from Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee and Dr. Michael Caligiuri, director of The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and chief executive officer of the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, regarding breast cancer survivor and advocate Stefanie Spielman, who died after more than a decade-long battle with breast cancer.
“Through her remarkable grace and compassion for others, Stefanie Spielman taught all of us powerful lessons about the human capacity for love and courage,” said Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee. “She was an extraordinary person and one of the University's firmest of friends. We were deeply proud to be able to celebrate her accomplishments, and those of Chris and their wonderful family, during a ceremony at one of last month's football games. I was blessed to know Stefanie, to witness her good work, and to count her as a friend. We will miss her mightily.”
“Not only did Stefanie Spielman create the Stefanie’s Champions annual event to honor cancer caregivers, but through her tireless devotion and advocacy for more research into the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, she helped raise more than $6.5 million for cancer research through the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research at The James,” said Caligiuri. “She will be missed, but never forgotten. Her passion and commitment will live on for generations to come. She’s truly a champion.”
