Public Service Announcements

 

Due to the rarity of the disease, many people are not aware of sarcoma until diagnosis. The SFA and the sarcoma community aim to change that by bringing awareness to the disease.  Our PSA campaign, titled “Sarcoma Heroes,” shares the message of all of the heroes who are working to make difference and encourages listeners to join forces with them in the fight to cure sarcoma.

FotorCreated (12)The Sarcoma Foundation of America has created a Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaign. The “Sarcoma is Cancer” Campaign is set to air on radio stations across the United States. These PSAs aim to introduce sarcoma to a larger audience and to educate them about the work of the Sarcoma Foundation of America.

Each July, the sarcoma community comes together for Sarcoma Awareness Month to raise the profile of sarcoma and bring desperately needed attention to this disease – attention that will help in efforts to generate increased research and new treatments. Our PSAs share the message of Sarcoma Awareness Month and ask listeners to join us in the fight to cure sarcoma.
