Join the Sarcoma Community to spread awareness during Sarcoma Awareness Month! We’ve created a social media toolkit to make it easy for you to share important information and engage your network.
July is Sarcoma Awareness Month, a dedicated time to shine a light on one of the most misunderstood and underrecognized cancers. Sarcoma is a rare cancer of the bones and soft tissues, accounting for only about 1% of all adult cancer diagnoses. Yet despite its rarity, it affects thousands of patients and families every year, and many go months without a correct diagnosis simply because awareness is so low.
That’s where you come in.
Whether you’re a patient, survivor, caregiver, clinician, or advocate, your voice matters. When more people have access to resources and education, when more researchers receive funding, and when more patients feel seen, outcomes improve.
Help us improve outcomes by sharing information on social media. Simply choose the posts that resonate with you, personalize them with your own story or message if you’d like, and share them with your network. Every post, repost, and conversation helps build the visibility that the sarcoma community deserves.
Here’s how to get started:

General Awareness Posts:
- July is #SarcomaAwarenessMonth! Sarcoma is a rare cancer affecting bones and soft tissues. It accounts for just 1% of adult cancers but 21% of childhood cancers. That means too many families are fighting with too few resources. This month, learn, share, and act with us. #CureSarcoma
- Did you know? Approximately 18,000 people are diagnosed with sarcoma every year in the United States. At any given time, more than 50,000 patients and families are navigating this disease. Sharing this fact is the first step toward change. #CureSarcoma
- With more than 100 distinct subtypes, sarcoma can arise anywhere in the body: legs, arms, chest, abdomen, head, and neck. That complexity is exactly why dedicated research and awareness matter so much. Learn more: curesarcoma.org #CureSarcoma
- This #SarcomaAwarenessMonth, I’m helping shine a light on #sarcoma. Awareness can lead to earlier detection and better understanding. #CureSarcoma
