Join us in Rochester, Minnesota on Sunday, August 25 as Rein in Sarcoma holds its first fundraiser for sarcoma research at Mayo Clinic. Rein in Sarcoma expanded research funding to Mayo Clinic in 2017, with $55,000 in research grants to date.
We are thrilled to feature the lead singer of Six Mile Grove, a great band with Minnesota roots, at the Little Thistle Brewing Company. Enjoy a family friendly afternoon of music, bounce house, beverages, and conversation with fellow RIS patients, survivors, caregivers, sarcoma medical and research professionals, and other community supporters – all while raising money for critical sarcoma research. Entry is $10 at the door. Donations welcome.
Contact Dianna Robinson for more information, or if you’d like to help with the event.
July is Sarcoma Awareness Month!
Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz has proclaimed July 2019 SARCOMA AWARENESS MONTH!
Sarcomas cancers are rare and often aggressive cancers that attack the body's connective tissues or bones. It is often diagnosed too late for proper treatment. Sarcoma is the third most common form of cancer in children and young adults.
When you read the State of Minnesota Proclamation, you will learn that Rein in Sarcoma has launched a major educational initiative to raise awareness and educate the public and the medical profession about sarcoma cancers in collaboration with Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, The Mayo Clinic, the University of Minnesota, Regions Hospital and HealthPartners.
The good news is that early diagnosis and proper treatment of sarcoma tumors could lead to increasing survival rates by as much as 20% - which would SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIVES!!!
Check out Rein in Sarcoma’s social media posts throughout July and be sure to share to help raise awareness of sarcoma cancer. See the links to our social media sites below.
