Mission

The Sarcoma Foundation of America (SFA) advocates for increased research to find new and better therapies for treating patients with sarcoma.  The SFA raises its own funds to provide research grants to sarcoma researchers. The SFA also interacts with public, private for-profit, and private nonprofit organizations to raise awareness of the treatment needs of sarcoma patients.


We strive to eliminate pain and suffering due to sarcoma by:
  • Funding translational research grants that will lead to new sarcoma therapies
  • Advocating for increased government funding against sarcoma
  • Creating alliances with the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to rapidly develop new and better sarcoma treatments
  • Increasing public awareness regarding early detection of sarcoma
  • Educating sarcoma patients regarding access to optimal sarcoma care
  • Advocating for early access by sarcoma patients to promising agents developed for other cancer types
