Our Mission
We take a three-pronged approach to making an impact:
Educate
Our high-impact education programs bring sarcoma to the forefront—helping doctors recognize symptoms earlier, guiding patients and families through every step of diagnosis and treatment, and raising public awareness about this rare cancer.
Support
No one should face sarcoma alone. From patient events to caregiver resources, we offer ways to connect, share stories, and find strength together. Families touched by sarcoma find hope in knowing they’re part of a larger community.
Fund Research
Hope for tomorrow starts with research today. We’ve invested over $2 million in studies at leading institutions like Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota—supporting breakthroughs that improve outcomes and advance the search for a cure.
Stories Of Impact
Real People. Real Progress.
Behind every donation is a story of progress:
Families finding support during their hardest days.
Researchers turning funding into real discoveries.
Survivors inspiring others to keep fighting.
