Relive this Year's Party in the Park
This year's event was our most successful ever with over 1,200 attending. We made over $72,000 for our mission of sarcoma research, education and support. Our gross revenue was 42% higher then last year. 

This year's event was also our most covered ever.
A team of outstanding photographers: Karen Eckman, Pam Graves, Andreea  Tudosie, Mike and  Kelly Klarich took over 1,000 pictures of the event. You will see their work displayed on our website and materials during the coming year. To see a sideshow of this year's event, click here.
