Upcoming Fundraisers

SFA Fundraisers

For those interested in putting on a fundraiser, the point of contact is SFA Development Director, Jennifer Dotson. If you would like to have a fundraiser or have any questions, please contact her at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or 301-253-8687. The SFA has tools for you to use such as our Fundraising Handbook, website assistance and online donations, marketing assistance and additional tools and suggestions to make the most of your fundraising activities.

Because of the grassroots nature of the Sarcoma Foundation of America, we are relying on your local ingenuity to develop ideas for fundraising for sarcoma research. But rest assured that we will help facilitate your efforts so that you can have a successful event! Possible fundraising ideas can range from a cocktail reception or happy hour, wine tasting, bowling tournament, lemonade stand, garage sale, carwash, organization of a local run/walk, or hosting of a dinner at home, to the staging of larger events like golf tournaments and Gala’s.

Below is a list of Sarcoma Foundation of America fundraisers going on in the US to help raise funds to find new treatments for sarcoma. Please get involved!
