Partnering with 22 Organizations to Prioritize Childhood Cancer Policy
The Sarcoma Foundation of America (SFA) has united with 22 organizations to urge Congress to
prioritize childhood cancer legislation. Together, we are calling on lawmakers to ensure children
battling cancer are the first order of business in 2025.
Earlier this year, several key policies aimed at advancing pediatric cancer research and care
were removed from the year-end federal spending package, despite strong bipartisan support.
These legislative measures represented some of the most promising opportunities in over a
decade to improve outcomes for children with cancer and their families.
As the 119th Congress convenes on January 3, 2025, we must ensure that critical bills
supporting treatment, research, and resources for childhood cancer are addressed. Children
with cancer have waited long enough—it’s time to finish the job.
SFA is deeply committed to ensuring that childhood cancer remains at the forefront of
legislative priorities. By endorsing this statement, we join a collective call for renewed efforts to
pass these vital policies in the next congressional session.
Childhood cancer advocacy is a critical part of SFA’s mission, and we stand with families,
patients, and fellow advocates in pushing for change that will make a difference.
