The Sarcoma Stomp, the event that began it all! Presented by AmWINS, it is our biggest annual fundraising event attended by over 1,100 participants, volunteers, and sponsors. On April 22, the Sarcoma Stomp featured a 5K run and 3K walk followed by an epic after-race festival with food, music, activities, games, and much more. We raised over $225,000 in 2023 and plan to exceed that mark next year — with your help!
Back in 2011, Paula Takacs – just one woman – dreamed of better treatment opportunities for those with sarcoma. Since then, tens of thousands have joined in to help fund local research at Levine Cancer Institute and Levine Children’s Hospital. And our impact is now global with $3.3M raised, nudging the needle of hope ever upwards.
Even with all this growth, we never forget that this a community of individuals. Whether you are a patient, survivor, friend, doctor, caregiver, family, or sponsor, the fact is CHANGE only happens when ‘one’ takes action.
