Sarcoma Foundation of America

Finding the right care team can make all the difference in a sarcoma journey. The Sarcoma Foundation of America’s Treatment Centers Directory helps patients and families connect with specialized centers experienced in treating sarcoma, offering access to multidisciplinary care, clinical trials, and expert support. The directory includes centers that meet specific criteria for sarcoma-focused care, including multidisciplinary teams and access to clinical trials. Is your institution committed to providing specialized sarcoma care? We encourage eligible centers to apply to be included in the directory and help patients find the expert care they need.

Sarcoma Awareness Month is almost here, and we’ve been hard at work preparing for another impactful year of raising awareness and bringing our community together. Now, we need YOUR help! For Light Up for Sarcoma on July 24, landmarks, buildings, and spaces across the U.S. and around the world are lighting up yellow in support of everyone impacted by sarcoma. We’d love to make this year even bigger by adding more locations with the help of our community. You can find the full list of participating locations, along with a message template to help request a local landmark or building to light up, on our website: https://lnkd.in/gXsH-cHc Once you get confirmation of a location lighting up, please email communications@curesarcoma.org so we can add it to our list. Thank you for helping us make this Sarcoma Awareness Month bigger, brighter, and more impactful than ever before! #SarcomaAwarenessMonth #LightUpForSarcoma #CureSarcoma #Sarcoma
