Connections made throughout the World
Imerman Angels matches individuals who have lost someone to cancer with Mentor Angels. It is a free, peer-to-peer mentorship program that pairs those who have lost someone to a certain type of cancer with those who have similar experiences. The matching process is done by real people, not an algorithm, and people can choose to be matched with someone who is local, has the same gender or orientation, or is around the same age.

Dragonslayer Walks 2024
Dragonslayer Walks are non-competitive, non-timed, walks to honor Sarcoma patients, survivors, and those we have lost to Sarcoma and raise vital funds for NWSF. The walks raise critical funds to support the programs and mission of Northwest Sarcoma Foundation. In 2024 we hosted walks in Portland, Boise, Spokane, and Seattle.
These walks are a chance for everyone to ensure no one faces Sarcoma alone.
