We are excited to be the recipients of the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust grant. This three year grant will allow us to hire a development coordinator and purchase the Classy Platform. With a new teammate and CRM, we will be able to maintain a donor database in one location, while providing a user friendly experience for donations and event registration. All of this will help us better serve Sarcoma patients and families in the Pacific Northwest.

Thank you volunteers for making our events and programs run so smoothly! As we launch into Volunteer Appreciation month everyone here says thank you! We have realized that just last month was 6 months until the Dragonslayer Walks, where we ask so much of many of you. So again, thanks! Earlier this year the board and staff worked diligently to establish and define committees to support the work of the organization. We are searching for volunteers who want to participate in the next part of the future of the NW Sarcoma Foundation. We decided on four committees, and we are looking for some great people to get involved.
