What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Every year 13,000 individuals are diagnosed with a Sarcoma cancer in the US. Due to the relative rarity of the disease, the options available for treatment, support, and education are highly limited. Additionally, rare cancers often exact a larger financial and emotional burden on families. We provide direct financial support to these patients and their families.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Our goal is to ensure no one faces Sarcoma alone, and that investments are made in Sarcoma research and treatment options.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

We are adding programs to provide education to our patients, families and supporters which include direct access to the researchers through Research Update Nights.
We provide a group setting for patients, caregivers, and those who have lost someone to Sarcoma to not feel isolated and be able to communicate together their feelings associated with Sarcoma.
We bring together researchers from across our five states to collaborate and discuss current research, through our Sarcoma Journal Club.
We provide care packages to patients and to those who have lost someone to Sarcoma, to futher connect our Sarcoma community.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Expand our Corporate Partnership program to help fund the important work of the organization.
Host virtual fundraising events to support programs.
Host hybrid Dragonslayer walk fundraising events in mutiple cities across our service area to support the mission of the organization.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

We have expanded in 2020 with our Casual Chat groups. One group in particular has seen international response by having an attendee from Moscow, Russia. Proving the global need to connect survivors of Sarcoma Angels. We have added additional groups in 2021 to meet the needs of our patients and their families.

Next we are adding care packages for patients and survivors of Sarcoma angels. We are expanding our Researcher Update Nights to include research happening outside of the PNW.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.

We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
