H

oward Schwartz, 
West Bloomfield 
real estate devel-
oper and philanthropist, 
always loved the rock band 
the Who, but never could 
have guessed that it would 
lead him to discover a 
favorite charity as well as 
acquiring one of his most 
unusual and prized posses-
sions. 
Schwartz read the Who’s 
Peter Townsend’s biography. 
In it, he told about his affinity 
to the Jewish people stem-
ming from his family sharing 
a home with a Jewish family 
named Cass. Townsend had 
fond memories of the smells 
and noises of the family’s joy-
ous gatherings. 

Schwartz bought tickets 
to the band’s Detroit con-
cert in 2012 and wanted 
to give Townsend and the 
band a homey welcome to 
Detroit, so he arranged to 
have gefilte fish and deli 
sent to Joe Louis Arena 
prior to the concert. 
At that concert, the 
Who talked about the UK 
precursor to Teen Cancer 
America that was founded 
to address the very real, and 
very different, issues that 
teenagers and young adults 
face when battling cancer. 
“These young people 
get put between little kids 
and adults and their spe-
cial needs and challenges 
aren’t addressed properly,” 

How the Who and the Queen ended up 
helping teens with cancer.
