Support

The Foundation serves as a major means of support for sarcoma patients survivors and those who have lost a loved one to sarcoma. These include:

• Rein in Sarcoma Gatherings are held semi-annually in the fall and early spring. This is a unique and supportive environment to meet other persons with sarcoma, to share and gain support. A next RIS Gathering is  planned for October 30th.
