Today is Chondrosarcoma Awareness Day. We honor every person impacted by this diagnosis. ChondrosarcomasΒ are a specific type of bone sarcoma that most often affects adults, and are most likely to develop in the joints, pelvis, or long bones.

Jordan’s Dream Fund was established in 2017 in memory of 28-year-old Jordan Andrew Singer, a patient with epithelioid sarcoma. This program, in partnership with Jordan’s Dream Fund, helps cover out-of-pocket expenses for sarcoma patients participating in clinical trials.

In the face of sarcoma, Todd D. Barron chose hope, compassion, and impact. More than 100 friends and family gathered poolside at the home of his wife, Debra, to honor his legacy and raised more than $150,000 to establish the Todd D. Barron Research Fund at SFA. www.givesignup.org/Race/MD/Dama...

Because sarcoma is rare, it’s often overlooked and underfunded, leaving patients with too few treatment options. As research funding is cut, sarcoma risks falling further behind. As we close out 2025, we hope you’ll help us keep critical sarcoma research moving forward. curesarcoma.org/year-end
