OUR MISSION
The mission of the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative is to improve the quality of life for people dealing with sarcoma. The Initiative increases public awareness of sarcoma, raises funds to award research grants, and provides support and timely information to sarcoma patients, their families, and medical professionals. These efforts are achieved through collaboration with numerous individuals and organizations that share a similar vision. Everything that we do is accomplished by volunteers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OUR WEBSITE The information on our website empowers cancer patients, their caregivers and their loved ones by helping them understand and discuss their disease and potential treatment options with their medical team. It also aids them in dealing with their disease. http://sarcomahelp.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

It is not a membership organization. Thus, there are no “chapters” or local meetings. Rather, people volunteer to help with one or more of our ongoing projects. We maintain an extremely low overhead of 2-3% per year. Thus, 97-98% of the funds we receive go directly to support sarcoma research and sarcoma families. There are several ways to donate! Visit our Contribute Page for more information: http://sarcomahelp.org/donations... The Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative is a Collective Giving Fund within FJC, a 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profit Public Charity and a Foundation of Philanthropic Funds in the United States. As such, all donations and gifts made to FJC that are designated for the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative are fully deductible to the extent allowed by US law. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
