Thanks for an Evening to Remember!

Over 1,200 people from at least eight states gathered together at Como Park on July 26th to make the 10th "Party in the Park" our best ever. Over the course of just five hours the entire mission of Rein in Sarcoma was on glorious display.

• We furthered our efforts to find cures for sarcoma cancers by raising over $90,000  with over $70,000 going directly for sarcoma research at the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center.

• We provided support for sarcoma patients/ survivors and their loved ones with a free family picnic attended by over 450 people.

• We supported newly diagnosed sarcoma patients with the production and release of the 3rd Edition of the Rein in Sarcoma Patient Starter Notebook with separate versions for the University of Minnesota and Children's Hospital. This manual is the only one of its kind available nationally to sarcoma patients.

• We provided critical education by launching a new sarcoma  education campaign in cooperation with all 40 district CVS/Caremark Pharmacies and a greatly expanded Sarcoma Corner at the event.

The evening was filled with big happenings such as the Opening Tribute Ride, the Closing Ceremony, and continuous great entertainment in between and with smaller moments like having your face painted, building bird houses, or reading the sarcoma stories of both young and old. 

Our thanks to all the Rein In Sarcoma sponsors, particularly our first Presenting Sponsor, CVS/Caremark Pharmacies.
