About Us
We are a resource for patients and families touched by sarcomas, an uncommon and often misdiagnosed group of bone and soft tissue cancers that strike children and adults alike. We are a nationally-known sarcoma foundation and provide support to patients and loved ones all across the world. Founded in Minnesota in 2001, we have funded over $2 million in innovative, collaborative and high-impact research and education initiatives at top medical research institutions such as Mayo Clinic, the University of Minnesota, and Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.

Survivor Gatherings
Our gatherings are held periodically during the year in-person in Minnesota and some virtually. They are a wonderful opportunity to meet and learn from others who are facing sarcoma. It is also a rare opportunity to get and give support. Our gatherings are low cost or free of cost for sarcoma patients, survivors, and their immediate families; as well as for persons who have lost a family member to sarcoma.
