The Sarcoma Foundation of America is a national organization dedicated to increasing sarcoma awareness and research. Through its advocacy and fundraising efforts, the foundation has supported 115 sarcoma research grants since 2003, along with two large American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Foundation Clinical Research grants worth $450,000. The SFA has also funded six ASCO Young Investigator Awards and has started a large research based initiative called the Sarcoma Patient Registry, designed to increase research performed on sarcoma and to facilitate clinical trials.
