New SFA Logo 
New SFA Logo

We are proud to announce a new logo and visual style for the Sarcoma Foundation of America. Over the past months we have worked to create a logo that fits our mission and communicates our values of research, awareness, and advocacy. The graphic artist added a great touch by moving the capital "S" into the globe, and drawing the blue ring into the S, as though connecting SFA to the world. The notion of SFA global connectedness, and our efforts to have our research and programs impact the world, came together as a visual theme.

Over the next couple of weeks you will see the new logo and branding appear on our website, documentation, and all other places where you expect SFA - including our brochures, pens, bags, and other SFA materials.

SFA Kicks Off Wednesday Warrior

Beginning in April, the Sarcoma Foundation of America will select a story story each week to feature on our online media platforms called Wednesday Warrior.

 

If you or a loved one has been impacted by sarcoma cancer, we encourage you to share your story. 

  

Stories can be about your own experience with cancer, or that of a friend, family member, or loved one. Sharing your story can be such an inspiration to others who are dealing with sarcoma in their own life and remind us all of the urgency to find better treatments in order to make an impact on the devastation that sarcoma cancer brings. Let your experiences help others become involved with raising awareness.
